#### Differences from the original split(s)

Originally, the dataset is split into three splits: train, validation and test. For the purposes of this repository, original splits were joined back together and divided into train and test splits while making sure that splits were stratified across document sources (news and wiki) and event types.

Originally, the `title` column additionally contained information from `date` and `metadata` columns. They are now separated into three columns: `date`, `metadata` and `title`.
