### Dataset Summary

The Yelp reviews dataset consists of reviews from Yelp.
It is extracted from the Yelp Dataset Challenge 2015 data.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

- `text-classification`, `sentiment-classification`: The dataset is mainly used for text classification: given the text, predict the sentiment.

### Languages

The reviews were mainly written in english.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

A typical data point, comprises of a text and the corresponding label.

An example from the YelpReviewFull test set looks as follows:
```
{
    'label': 0,
    'text': 'I got \'new\' tires from them and within two weeks got a flat. I took my car to a local mechanic to see if i could get the hole patched, but they said the reason I had a flat was because the previous patch had blown - WAIT, WHAT? I just got the tire and never needed to have it patched? This was supposed to be a new tire. \\nI took the tire over to Flynn\'s and they told me that someone punctured my tire, then tried to patch it. So there are resentful tire slashers? I find that very unlikely. After arguing with the guy and telling him that his logic was far fetched he said he\'d give me a new tire \\"this time\\". \\nI will never go back to Flynn\'s b/c of the way this guy treated me and the simple fact that they gave me a used tire!'
}
```

### Data Fields

- 'text': The review texts are escaped using double quotes ("), and any internal double quote is escaped by 2 double quotes (""). New lines are escaped by a backslash followed with an "n" character, that is "\n".
- 'label': Corresponds to the score associated with the review (between 1 and 5).

### Data Splits

The Yelp reviews full star dataset is constructed by randomly taking 130,000 training samples and 10,000 testing samples for each review star from 1 to 5.
In total there are 650,000 trainig samples and 50,000 testing samples.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

The Yelp reviews full star dataset is constructed by Xiang Zhang (xiang.zhang@nyu.edu) from the Yelp Dataset Challenge 2015. It is first used as a text classification benchmark in the following paper: Xiang Zhang, Junbo Zhao, Yann LeCun. Character-level Convolutional Networks for Text Classification. Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 28 (NIPS 2015).
