Dataset Summary
This dataset contains 30,000 messages drawn from events including an earthquake in Haiti in 2010, an earthquake in Chile in 2010, floods in Pakistan in 2010, super-storm Sandy in the U.S.A. in 2012, and news articles spanning a large number of years and 100s of different disasters. The data has been encoded with 36 different categories related to disaster response and has been stripped of messages with sensitive information in their entirety. Upon release, this is the featured dataset of a new Udacity course on Data Science and the AI4ALL summer school and is especially utile for text analytics and natural language processing (NLP) tasks and models.The input data in this job contains thousands of untranslated disaster-related messages and their English translations. In the “Data” tab above, you’ll find the annotated data, with 40 class labels for intent and content.
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
The input data in this job contains thousands of untranslated disaster-related messages and their English translations. In the dataset, you’ll find the annotated data, with 40 class labels for intent and content. This dataset contains the original message in its original language, the English translation, and dozens of classes for message content. These classes are noted in column titles with a simple binary 1= yes, 0=no.
Languages
The dataset is a multilingual dataset which has the messages in the original language and also it's translated English form.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
The dataset consists of a message in English and also it's original language form. Adding on, there are 40 labels which help to understand more about the exact essence of the message.

Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
The dataset has a great usecase of understand more about the sentiments of the citizens around the globe during a disaster and how their responses are. Also, it helps the government to understand their citizens better and would eventually help to draft better policies accordingly.
Discussion of Biases
The messages since have been translated in English may not be able to judically imply the exact significance of the individual when they would have posted the message
