	## 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).
