| ### Dataset Summary | |
| AG is a collection of more than 1 million news articles. News articles have been | |
| gathered from more than 2000 news sources by ComeToMyHead in more than 1 year of | |
| activity. ComeToMyHead is an academic news search engine which has been running | |
| since July, 2004. The dataset is provided by the academic comunity for research | |
| purposes in data mining (clustering, classification, etc), information retrieval | |
| (ranking, search, etc), xml, data compression, data streaming, and any other | |
| non-commercial activity. For more information, please refer to the link | |
| http://www.di.unipi.it/~gulli/AG_corpus_of_news_articles.html . | |
| The AG's news topic classification dataset is constructed by Xiang Zhang | |
| (xiang.zhang@nyu.edu) from the dataset above. It is used as a text | |
| classification benchmark in the following paper: Xiang Zhang, Junbo Zhao, Yann | |
| LeCun. Character-level Convolutional Networks for Text Classification. Advances | |
| in Neural Information Processing Systems 28 (NIPS 2015). | |

| ## Dataset Structure | |
| We show detailed information for up to 5 configurations of the dataset. | |
| ### Data Instances | |
| #### default | |
| - **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 29.88 MB | |
| - **Size of the generated dataset:** 30.23 MB | |
| - **Total amount of disk used:** 60.10 MB | |
| An example of 'train' looks as follows. | |
| ``` | |
| { | |
| "label": 3, | |
| "text": "New iPad released Just like every other September, this one is no different. Apple is planning to release a bigger, heavier, fatter iPad that..." | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| The data fields are the same among all splits. | |
| #### default | |
| - `text`: a `string` feature. | |
| - `label`: a classification label, with possible values including `World` (0), `Sports` (1), `Business` (2), `Sci/Tech` (3). | |
