Dataset Access

The dataset used in this paper was also part of the SemEval 2025 Task 10 shared task. To download the dataset, please register using the provided link.

The following files were used for our experiments:

For our experiments, we create the train/dev sets by splitting the data in target_4_December_release.zip based on unique article IDs (80/20 split, seed = 42) into train and dev sets. The test set in the paper is exactly the contents of cleaned_dev_10_january_2025.zip.

When you register and download the dataset, you will receive data for 3 subtasks (1, 2, and 3). This paper uses only the Subtask 1 data; you may ignore the data for other subtasks.

Baselines and scoring tools are also provided on the registration page to help you understand the dataset structure and format.

Extended dataset: The link also provides additional data beyond what was used in this paper. These files are part of the extended dataset:
