# Dataset Card for Sentiment Analysis of Commodity News (Gold)

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

This is a news dataset for the commodity market which has been manually annotated 10,000+ news headlines across multiple dimensions into various classes. The dataset has been sampled from a period of 20+ years (2000-2021).
The dataset was curated by Ankur Sinha and Tanmay Khandait and is detailed in their paper "Impact of News on the Commodity Market: Dataset and Results." It is currently published by the authors on Kaggle, under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

<!-- Motivation for the creation of this dataset. -->
"Commodity prices are known to be quite volatile. Machine learning models that understand the commodity news well, will be able to provide an additional input to the short-term and long-term price forecasting models. The dataset will also be useful in creating news-based indicators for commodities.

Apart from researchers and practitioners working in the area of news analytics for commodities, the dataset will also be useful for researchers looking to evaluate their models on classification problems in the context of text-analytics. Some of the classes in the dataset are highly imbalanced and may pose challenges to the machine learning algorithms."

### Source Data

<!-- This section describes the source data (e.g. news text and headlines, social media posts, translated sentences, ...). -->
The source data is news text and headlines.

#### Data Collection and Processing
"The dataset has been collected from various news sources and annotated by three human annotators who were subject experts. Each news headline was evaluated on various dimensions, for instance - if a headline is a price related news then what is the direction of price movements it is talking about; whether the news headline is talking about the past or future; whether the news item is talking about asset comparison; etc."
<!-- If the dataset contains annotations which are not part of the initial data collection, use this section to describe them. -->
