For the temporal-shift setting, we recommend to train models on train (an alias of temporal_2020_train) with validation (an alias of temporal_2020_validation) and evaluate on test (an alias of temporal_2021_test). For the random split, we recommend to train models on random_train with random_validation and evaluate on test (temporal_2021_test).

IMPORTANT NOTE: To get a result that is comparable with the results of the COLING 2022 Tweet Topic paper, please use coling2022_temporal_train and coling2022_temporal_test for temporal-shift, and coling2022_random_train and coling2022_temporal_test fir random split (the coling2022 split does not have validation set).
