	### Dataset Summary

	The comments in this dataset come from an archive of the Civil Comments
	platform, a commenting plugin for independent news sites. These public comments
	were created from 2015 - 2017 and appeared on approximately 50 English-language
	news sites across the world. When Civil Comments shut down in 2017, they chose
	to make the public comments available in a lasting open archive to enable future
	research. The original data, published on figshare, includes the public comment
	text, some associated metadata such as article IDs, timestamps and
	commenter-generated "civility" labels, but does not include user ids. Jigsaw
	extended this dataset by adding additional labels for toxicity and identity
	mentions. This data set is an exact replica of the data released for the
	Jigsaw Unintended Bias in Toxicity Classification Kaggle challenge. This
	dataset is released under CC0, as is the underlying comment text.

	## Dataset Structure

	### Data Instances

	#### default

	- Size of downloaded dataset files: 414.95 MB
	- Size of the generated dataset: 661.23 MB
	- Total amount of disk used: 1.08 GB

	An example of 'validation' looks as follows.
	```
	{
	"identity_attack": 0.0,
	"insult": 0.0,
	"obscene": 0.0,
	"severe_toxicity": 0.0,
	"sexual_explicit": 0.0,
	"text": "The public test.",
	"threat": 0.0,
	"toxicity": 0.0
	}
	```

	### Data Fields

	The data fields are the same among all splits.

	#### default
	- `text`: a `string` feature.
	- `toxicity`: a `float32` feature.
	- `severe_toxicity`: a `float32` feature.
	- `obscene`: a `float32` feature.
	- `threat`: a `float32` feature.
	- `insult`: a `float32` feature.
	- `identity_attack`: a `float32` feature.
	- `sexual_explicit`: a `float32` feature.
