- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.04561
- **Point of Contact:** [More Information Needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards)
- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 414.95 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 661.23 MB

### 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.
