# Turkish Event Detection Tweet Dataset: BilTweetNews |
|
|
|
The dataset contains tweets related to six major events from Turkish news sources between May 4, 2015 |
|
and Jan 8, 2017. |
|
|
|
There are 7 event classes: |
|
|
|
- E1: May 25, 2015 One of the popular football clubs in Turkey, Galatasaray, wins the 2015 |
|
Turkish Super League. |
|
- E2: Sep 6, 2015 A terrorist group, called PKK, attacked to soldiers in Dağlıca, a village in |
|
southeastern Turkey. |
|
- E3: Oct 7, 2015 A Turkish scientist, Aziz Sancar, won the 2015 Nobel Chemistry prize with |
|
his studies on DNA repair. |
|
- E4: May 27, 2016 A local football club of Alanya promoted to the Turkish Super League for |
|
the first time in their history. |
|
- E5: Jun 17, 2016 A traditional anthem that is mostly played by secularists in Turkey, called |
|
the 10th Year Anthem, was forbidden in schools by the director of national |
|
education in the Black Sea province of Bolu. |
|
- E6: Oct 17, 2016 A magazine programmer confused that Madonna in a Fur Coat, a book written |
|
in 1943 by a Turkish celebrated writer, Sabahattin Ali, was about popstar |
|
Madonna’s life. The book tells a story between a Turkish student and German |
|
singer after the World War I. |
|
- Other: Not related to any news topic |
|
|
|
For each event, 100 related-candidate and 60 unrelated-candidate tweets are selected. Lastly, we randomly select 40 tweets that are potentially not related at all, 5 of them are |
|
removed due to detecting near-duplicates later. The dataset has 995 tweets in total. |
|
|
|
The task of this dataset is event detection. The sentiment analysis labels can be found at https://huggingface.co/datasets/ctoraman/BilTweetNews-Sentiment |
|
|
|
All tweets are labeled by 17 annotators. We provide the normalized distribution of annotations across 7 event classes. We also provide the majority class at the last column. There are no cases where multiple classes have the highest score. |
