31
+
32
+ ### Direct Use
33
+
34

35
+
36
+ ### Out-of-Scope Use
37
+
38
+ The dataset should not be used for real-time financial decision-making or trading due to its historical nature and the inherent biases of media reporting.
39
+
40
+ ## Dataset Structure
41
+
42
+ ### Data Instances
43
+
44
+ A typical instance includes fields like `Headline`, `Journalists`, `Date`, `Link`, `Article`, and `Summary`.
45
+
46
+ ### Data Splits
47
+
48
+ The dataset is not divided into standard training, validation, or test splits.
49
+
50
+ ## Dataset Creation
51
+
52
+ ### Curation Rationale
53
+
54
+ This dataset was curated to assist researchers and developers in analyzing financial news trends and patterns across several years, with the addition of summaries to aid in quicker understanding and analysis.
55
+
56
+ ### Source Data
57
+
58
+ #### Data Collection and Processing
59
+
60
+ The articles were originally scraped from Reuters and processed for easier consumption in NLP tasks, including the generation of summaries for each article.
61
+
62
+ #### Who are the source data producers?
63
+
64
+ The text of the articles is produced by journalists and financial analysts at Reuters.
65
+
66
+ ## Annotations
67
+
68
+ ### Personal and Sensitive Information
69
+
70
+ The dataset contains information that could be considered personal or sensitive as it includes names of people, companies, and possibly their financial data.
71
+
72
+ ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
73
+
74
+ The dataset reflects the potential biases of Reuters' reporting style and period-specific geopolitical influences on financial reporting.
75
+
76
+ ### Recommendations
77
+
78
+ Care should be taken to account for these biases when using the dataset for modeling or analysis. Researchers should also consider the implications of using summary data which may omit critical information or context.
