# MCA^2 Data & Embeddings
[**Paper**](https://huggingface.co/papers/2601.17786) | [**GitHub**](https://github.com/yankehan/MCA2)
This repository provides the **raw data (`data/`)** and the corresponding **precomputed multi-view embeddings (`embeddings/`)** for **MCA^2**, a two-stage multi-view text anomaly detection (TAD) framework.
MCA^2 exploits embeddings from multiple pretrained language models (views) and integrates them via a multi-view reconstruction model, contrastive collaboration, and adaptive allocation to identify anomalies. This dataset release facilitates reproduction by providing pre-extracted vectors, avoiding the need for expensive re-computation across various encoders (e.g., BERT, Stella, Qwen, and OpenAI).
## Content
- **data/**: Dataset files including train/test splits (e.g., `.npz` and `.jsonl` files).
- **embeddings/**: Pre-extracted vectors grouped by dataset and split. Multiple embedding files correspond to different "views" or encoders.
## Sample Usage
To reproduce the results for a specific dataset (such as OLID) using the MCA^2 framework, you can follow the instructions from the official repository:
```bash
# 1. Setup environment
conda create -n MCA2 python=3.9
conda activate MCA2
pip install torch sentence-transformers numpy transformers scikit-learn pandas tqdm pyod accelerate
# 2. Clone the repository and navigate to the evaluation directory
git clone https://github.com/yankehan/MCA2
cd MCA2/multiview_two_stage/eval
# 3. Run the evaluation script (ensure data and embeddings are placed in the project directory)
python ourmethod_eval.py --dataset olid --seeds 41,42,43,44,45
```
## Notes
- Embeddings can be large; it is recommended to start with a smaller dataset like **TAD-OLID** first.
- If downloads are slow, you may try using a Hugging Face mirror (e.g., `https://hf-mirror.com`).
