### Dataset Summary

53,640 Japanese tweets with annotation if a tweet is related to COVID-19 or not. The annotation is by majority decision by 5 - 10 crowd workers. Target tweets include "COVID" or "コロナ".

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Text-classification, Whether the tweet is related to COVID-19, and whether it is fact or opinion.

### Languages

The text can be gotten using the IDs in this dataset is Japanese, posted on Twitter.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

CSV file with the 1st column is Twitter ID and the 2nd column is assessment option ID.

### Data Fields

- `tweet_id`: Twitter ID.
- `assessment_option_id`: The selection result. It has the following meanings:
  - 63: a general fact: generally published information, such as news.
  - 64: a personal fact: personal news. For example, a person heard that the next-door neighbor, XX, has infected COVID-19, which has not been in a news.
  - 65: an opinion/feeling
  - 66: difficult to determine if they are related to COVID-19 (it is definitely the tweet is not "67: unrelated", but 63, 64, 65 cannot be determined)
  - 67: unrelated
  - 68: it is a fact, but difficult to determine whether general facts, personal facts, or impressions (it may be irrelevant to COVID-19 since it is indistinguishable between 63 - 65 and 67).
