### Dataset Summary

This dataset was created from the [English wikipedia](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dump_torrents#English_Wikipedia) dump of January 2022.
The main goal was to train a hierarchical classifier of academic subjects using [HiAGM](https://github.com/Alibaba-NLP/HiAGM). 

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboard

Text classification - No leaderboard at the moment.

### Languages

English

## Dataset Structure

The dataset consists of groups of labeled text chunks (tokenized by spaces and with stopwords removed). 
Labels are organized in a hieararchy (a DAG with a special Root node) of academic subjects.
Nodes correspond to entries in the [outline of academic disciplines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_disciplines) article from Wikipedia.

### Data Instances

Data is split in train/test/val each on a separate `.jsonl` file. Label hierarchy is listed a as TAB separated adjacency list on a `.taxonomy` file.
### Data Fields

JSONL files contain only two fields: a "token" field which holds the text tokens and a "label" field which holds a list of labels for that text.

### Data Splits

80/10/10 TRAIN/TEST/VAL schema

## Dataset Creation

All texts where extracted following the linked articles on [outline of academic disciplines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_disciplines)
