Indoor Outdoor Text Dataset
Dataset Summary
This dataset contains short English descriptions of places and everyday settings. Each description has a binary label: indoor or outdoor.
Purpose
The dataset was created for a course assignment on building and augmenting a text dataset. It is intended for demonstrating binary text classification and label-preserving text augmentation.
Composition
Each record contains:
text: a short English description.label: eitherindoororoutdoor.
The original collection contains 103 balanced examples. These originals were split (~70/15/15, stratified by label) into training, validation, and test portions before augmentation. Synthetic examples were generated only from the training originals, so validation and test remain unaugmented.
Data Collection
The original examples describe ordinary places and activities such as campus buildings, restaurants, museums, stores, parks, trails, plazas, markets, and outdoor recreation areas.
Preprocessing and Augmentation
Original texts are checked for duplicate entries and valid binary labels, then split into train/validation/test sets stratified by label.
Synthetic examples are generated from the training originals only, using controlled, label-preserving transformations such as word substitutions, word insertions/removals, word swaps, and sentence-level prefix/suffix variations. The original label is retained for every augmented example. A fixed random seed is used for reproducibility, and exact duplicate texts are rejected.
Labels
indoor: the described setting/activity primarily occurs inside a building or enclosed space.outdoor: the described setting/activity primarily occurs outside.
Splits
train: training originals plus their augmented versions.validation: unaugmented validation originals (~15% of the original collection).test: unaugmented test originals (~15% of the original collection).
Intended Use
Educational experimentation with binary text classification, dataset construction, data augmentation, and reproducible machine-learning workflows.
Limitations
The dataset is relatively small and focuses on English descriptions of places and settings. The labels represent the primary setting described in each text and may not capture mixed indoor/outdoor situations. The descriptions are not a comprehensive representation of any city or society.
Ethical Considerations
The dataset describes ordinary places and activities and is not intended to identify or profile individuals. It does not intentionally include private personal information. Users should avoid adding personally identifying or sensitive information.
