Data from a questionnaire survey conducted from 2022-08-25 to 2022-11-15 and exploring the use of machine translation by Ukrainian refugees in the Czech Republic. The presented spreadsheet contains minimally processed data exported from the two questionnaires that were created in Google Forms in the Ukrainian and the Russian language. The links to these questionnaires were distributed by three methods: direct email to particular refugees whose contact details the authors obtained while volunteering; through a non-profit organisation helping refugees (Vesna women’s education institution) and on social networks by posting links to the survey in groups associating the Ukrainian community across Czech regions and towns.
Since we asked potential respondents to spread the questionnaire further, we could not prevent it from reaching Ukrainians who had arrived in Czechia previously, or received temporary protection in other countries. Due to this fact, the textual answers to the question 1.5 "Which country are you in right now?" were replaced in the dataset by numbers (1 for the Czech Republic, 2 for other countries) in order for us to be able to separate the data of respondents not located in the Czech Republic, which were irrelevant for our survey. Also, in this version of the dataset, the textual answers to the question 1.6 "How many months have you been to this country?" were replaced by numbers, so that we could separate the data of respondents who arrived in the Czech Republic in February 2022 or later from the other data (0 for those staying in Czechia before February 2022, 1 for those staying in Czechia since February 2022 or later, 2 for those staying in other countries).
This dataset comprises a corpus of 50 text contexts, each about 60 words in length, sourced from five distinct domains. Each context has been evaluated by multiple annotators who identified and ranked the most important words—up to 10% of each text—according to their perceived significance. The annotators followed specific guidelines to ensure consistency in word selection and ranking. For further details, please refer to the cited source.

rankings_task.csv
- This csv contains information about the contexts which are to be annotated:
- id: A unique identifier for each task.
- content: The context to be ranked.
---
rankings_ranking.csv
- This csv includes ranking information for various assignments. It contains four columns:
- id: A unique identifier for each ranking entry.
- score: The score assigned to the entry.
- word_order: A JSON detailing the order of words positions. It is essentially the selected word positions and their ordering from an annotator.
- assignment_id: A reference ID linking to the assignments.

rankings_assignment.csv
- This csv tracks the completion status of tasks by users. It includes four columns:
- id: A unique identifier for each assignment entry.
- is_completed: A binary indicator (1 for completed, 0 for not completed).
- task_id: A reference ID linking to the tasks.
- user_id: The identifier for the user who should complete the task (rank the words).

Known Issues:
Please note that each annotator was intended to rank each context only once. However, due to a bug in the deployment of the annotation tool, some entries may be duplicated. Users of this dataset should be cautious of this issue and verify the uniqueness of the annotations where necessary.
