# [CrisisBench: Benchmarking Crisis-related Social Media Datasets for Humanitarian Information Processing](https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWSM/article/view/18115/17918)

The crisis benchmark dataset consists of data from several different sources, such as CrisisLex ([CrisisLex26](http://crisislex.org/data-collections.html#CrisisLexT26), [CrisisLex6](http://crisislex.org/data-collections.html#CrisisLexT6)), [CrisisNLP](https://crisisnlp.qcri.org/lrec2016/lrec2016.html), [SWDM2013](http://mimran.me/papers/imran_shady_carlos_fernando_patrick_practical_2013.pdf), [ISCRAM13](http://mimran.me/papers/imran_shady_carlos_fernando_patrick_iscram2013.pdf), Disaster Response Data (DRD), [Disasters on Social Media (DSM)](https://data.world/crowdflower/disasters-on-social-media), [CrisisMMD](https://crisisnlp.qcri.org/crisismmd), and data from [AIDR](http://aidr.qcri.org/).

The purpose of this work was to map the class labels, remove duplicates, and provide benchmark results for the community.

## Dataset
This is the set with multiple languages of the whole CrisisBench dataset. Please check the [CrisisBench Collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/QCRI/crisisbench-672c4b82bcc344d504d775fc)

## Data format

Each JSON object contains the following fields:

* **id:** Corresponds to the user tweet ID from Twitter.
* **event:** Event name associated with the respective dataset.
* **source:** Source of the dataset.
* **text:** Tweet text.
* **lang:** Language tag obtained either from Twitter or from the Google Language Detection API.
* **lang_conf:** Confidence score obtained from the Google Language Detection API. In some cases, the tag is marked as "NA," indicating that the language tag was obtained from Twitter rather than the API.

* **class_label:** Class label assigned to a given tweet text.
