## Dataset Description |
|
|
|
- **Homepage:** https://tldr.tech/newsletter |
|
|
|
### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
The `tldr_news` dataset was constructed by collecting a daily tech newsletter (available |
|
[here](https://tldr.tech/newsletter)). Then, for every piece of news, the `headline` and its corresponding ` |
|
content` were extracted. |
|
|
|
Such a dataset can be used to train a model to generate a headline from a input piece of text. |
|
|
|
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards |
|
|
|
There is no official supported tasks nor leaderboard for this dataset. However, it could be used for the following |
|
tasks: |
|
|
|
- summarization |
|
- headline generation |
|
|
|

## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
### Data Instances |
|
|
|
A data point comprises a "headline" and its corresponding "content". |
|
An example is as follows: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
{ |
|
"headline": "World-first 'impossible' rotating detonation engine fires up", |
|
"content": "A team in Florida working with the US Air Force has built an experimental model of a rotating detonation rocket engine. It uses spinning explosions inside a ring channel to create a super-efficient thrust. Most engines use combustion, which is a relatively slow and controlled process compared to detonation. Detonation releases significantly more energy than combustion with significantly less fuel, but detonation engines have proven to be incredibly difficult to build and sustain. A 20-second slow-motion video of the rocket firing is available." |
|
} |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Data Fields |
|
|
|
- `headline (str)`: the piece of news' headline |
|
- `content (str)`: the piece of news |
|
|
|
### Data Splits |
|
|
|
- `all`: all existing daily newsletters available [here](https://tldr.tech/newsletter). |
|
|
|
## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
This dataset was obtained by scrapping the collecting all the existing newsletter |
|
available [here](https://tldr.tech/newsletter). |
|
|
|
Every single newsletter was then processed to extract all the different pieces of news. Then for every collected piece |
|
of news the headline and the news content were extracted. |
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization |
|
|
|
The dataset was has been collected from https://tldr.tech/newsletter. |
|
|
|
In order to clean up the samples and to construct a dataset better suited for headline generation we have applied a |
|
couple of normalization steps: |
|
|
|
1. The headlines initially contain an estimated read time in parentheses; we stripped this information from the |
|
headline. |
|
2. Some headlines are just a technology/repo/software name. We filtered out such samples if this name was not mention in |
|
the news content. |
|
|
|
#### Who are the source language producers? |
|
|
|
The people (or person) behind the https://tldr.tech/ newsletter. |
|
|
|
### Annotations |
|
|
|
#### Annotation process |
|
|
|
Disclaimers: The dataset was generated from a daily newsletter. The author had no intention for those newsletters to be |
|
used as such. |
|
|
|
#### Who are the annotators? |
|
|
|
The newsletters were written by the people behind *TLDR tech*. |
|
|

## Considerations for Using the Data |
|
|
|
### Social Impact of Dataset |
|
|
|
[Needs More Information] |
|
|
|
### Discussion of Biases |
|
|
|
This dataset only contains tech news. A model trained on such a dataset might not be able to generalize to other domain. |
|
|
|
### Other Known Limitations |
|
|
|
[Needs More Information] |
