About this dataset

The ag_news dataset provides a new opportunity for text classification research. It is a large dataset consisting of a training set of 10,000 examples and a test set of 5,000 examples. The examples are split evenly into two classes: positive and negative. This makes the dataset well-suited for research into text classification methods

How to use the dataset

If you're looking to do text classification research, the ag_news dataset is a great new dataset to use. It consists of a training set of 10,000 examples and a test set of 5,000 examples, split evenly between positive and negative class labels. The data is well-balanced and should be suitable for many different text classification tasks

Research Ideas
