Unbias Dataset

This dataset contains configurations used for the Unbias project at the Vector Institute:

train_4 (config, default): Our newest and highest quality training split.
other_splits (config): Contains the earlier splits below.
- train_1: Training split sourced from VLDBench (regenerated version).
- train_2: Another training split.
- train_3: Another training split.
- test_set: Test split sourced from BABE Golden 500.

⭐ `train_4` is our newest, highest quality dataset — loaded by default.

Note: train_4 has an expanded schema (additional fields not present in train_1–train_3), so it's kept as a separate configuration to avoid schema conflicts.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the newest, highest quality split (default config, loads automatically)
train_4 = load_dataset("vector-institute/unbias-plus-dataset")
# equivalent to:
train_4 = load_dataset("vector-institute/unbias-plus-dataset", "train_4", split="train")

# Load the earlier splits (must specify the "other_splits" config name)
train_1 = load_dataset("vector-institute/unbias-plus-dataset", "other_splits", split="train_1")
train_2 = load_dataset("vector-institute/unbias-plus-dataset", "other_splits", split="train_2")
train_3 = load_dataset("vector-institute/unbias-plus-dataset", "other_splits", split="train_3")
test = load_dataset("vector-institute/unbias-plus-dataset", "other_splits", split="test_set")
