Data Splits
name | size |
---|---|
train | 3122 |
validation | 1066 |
test | 1060 |
These splits are specified after the original reserach was reported. The splits add an extra level of rigour, in that no source posts' comment tree is spread over more than one partition.
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
Comments around rumourous claims to enable rumour and stance analysis in Danish
Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
The data is from Reddit posts that relate to one of a specific set of news stories; these stories are enumerated in the paper.
Who are the source language producers?
Danish-speaking Twitter users.
Annotations
Annotation process
There was multi-user annotation process mediated through a purpose-built interface for annotating stance in Reddit threads.
Who are the annotators?
- Age: 20-30.
- Gender: male.
- Race/ethnicity: white northern European.
- Native language: Danish.
- Socioeconomic status: higher education student.
Personal and Sensitive Information
The data was public at the time of collection. User names are not preserved.
Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
There's a risk of user-deleted content being in this data. The data has NOT been vetted for any content, so there's a risk of harmful text.
Discussion of Biases
The source of the text has a strong demographic bias, being mostly young white men who are vocal their opinions. This constrains both the styles of language and discussion contained in the data, as well as the topics discussed and viewpoints held.
Other Known Limitations
The above limitations apply.
