# Dataset Card for "cardiffnlp/tweet_topic_multi"
## Dataset Description
- **Paper:** [https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.09824](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.09824)
- **Dataset:** Tweet Topic Dataset
- **Domain:** Twitter
- **Number of Class:** 19
### Dataset Summary
This is the official repository of TweetTopic (["Twitter Topic Classification
, COLING main conference 2022"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.09824)), a topic classification dataset on Twitter with 19 labels.
Each instance of TweetTopic comes with a timestamp which distributes from September 2019 to August 2021.
See [cardiffnlp/tweet_topic_single](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cardiffnlp/tweet_topic_single) for single label version of TweetTopic.
The tweet collection used in TweetTopic is same as what used in [TweetNER7](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tner/tweetner7).
The dataset is integrated in [TweetNLP](https://tweetnlp.org/) too.
### Preprocessing
We pre-process tweets before the annotation to normalize some artifacts, converting URLs into a special token `{{URL}}` and non-verified usernames into `{{USERNAME}}`.
For verified usernames, we replace its display name (or account name) with symbols `{@}`.
For example, a tweet
```
Get the all-analog Classic Vinyl Edition
of "Takin' Off" Album from @herbiehancock
via @bluenoterecords link below:
http://bluenote.lnk.to/AlbumOfTheWeek
```
is transformed into the following text.
```
Get the all-analog Classic Vinyl Edition
of "Takin' Off" Album from {@herbiehancock@}
via {@bluenoterecords@} link below: {{URL}}
```
A simple function to format tweet follows below.
```python
import re
from urlextract import URLExtract
extractor = URLExtract()
def format_tweet(tweet):
# mask web urls
urls = extractor.find_urls(tweet)
for url in urls:
tweet = tweet.replace(url, "{{URL}}")
# format twitter account
tweet = re.sub(r"\b(\s*)(@[\S]+)\b", r'\1{\2@}', tweet)
return tweet
target = """Get the all-analog Classic Vinyl Edition of "Takin' Off" Album from @herbiehancock via @bluenoterecords link below: http://bluenote.lnk.to/AlbumOfTheWeek"""
target_format = format_tweet(target)
print(target_format)
'Get the all-analog Classic Vinyl Edition of "Takin\' Off" Album from {@herbiehancock@} via {@bluenoterecords@} link below: {{URL}}'
```
### Data Splits
| split | number of texts | description |
|:------------------------|-----:|------:|
| test_2020 | 573 | test dataset from September 2019 to August 2020 |
| test_2021 | 1679 | test dataset from September 2020 to August 2021 |
| train_2020 | 4585 | training dataset from September 2019 to August 2020 |
| train_2021 | 1505 | training dataset from September 2020 to August 2021 |
| train_all | 6090 | combined training dataset of `train_2020` and `train_2021` |
| validation_2020 | 573 | validation dataset from September 2019 to August 2020 |
| validation_2021 | 188 | validation dataset from September 2020 to August 2021 |
| train_random | 4564 | randomly sampled training dataset with the same size as `train_2020` from `train_all` |
| validation_random | 573 | randomly sampled training dataset with the same size as `validation_2020` from `validation_all` |
| test_coling2022_random | 5536 | random split used in the COLING 2022 paper |
| train_coling2022_random | 5731 | random split used in the COLING 2022 paper |
| test_coling2022 | 5536 | temporal split used in the COLING 2022 paper |
| train_coling2022 | 5731 | temporal split used in the COLING 2022 paper |
For the temporal-shift setting, model should be trained on `train_2020` with `validation_2020` and evaluate on `test_2021`.
In general, model would be trained on `train_all`, the most representative training set with `validation_2021` and evaluate on `test_2021`.
**IMPORTANT NOTE:** To get a result that is comparable with the results of the COLING 2022 Tweet Topic paper, please use `train_coling2022` and `test_coling2022` for temporal-shift, and `train_coling2022_random` and `test_coling2022_random` fir random split (the coling2022 split does not have validation set).
