### Dataset Summary
TSATC: Twitter Sentiment Analysis Training Corpus
The original Twitter Sentiment Analysis Dataset contains 1,578,627 classified tweets, each row is marked as 1 for positive sentiment and 0 for negative sentiment. It can be downloaded from http://thinknook.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Sentiment-Analysis-Dataset.zip. 
The dataset is based on data from the following two sources:

University of Michigan Sentiment Analysis competition on Kaggle
Twitter Sentiment Corpus by Niek Sanders

This dataset has been transformed, selecting in a random way a subset of them, applying a cleaning process, and dividing them between the test and train subsets, keeping a balance between the number of positive and negative tweets within each of these subsets. These two files can be founded on https://github.com/cblancac/SentimentAnalysisBert/blob/main/data. 

Finally, the train subset has been divided in two smallest datasets, train (80%) and validation (20%). The final dataset has been created with these two new subdatasets plus the previous test dataset. 
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
[More Information Needed]
### Languages
The text in the dataset is in English.
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
Below are two examples from the dataset:




|     | Text                              | Feeling |
| :-- | :----------------------------     | :------ |
| (1) | blaaah. I don't feel good aagain. | 0       |
| (2) | My birthday is coming June 3.     | 1       |

### Data Fields
In the final dataset, all files are in the JSON format with f columns:

| Column Name   | Data                        |
| :------------ | :-------------------------- |
| text          | A sentence (or tweet)       |
| feeling       | The feeling of the sentence |

Each feeling has two possible values: `0` indicates the sentence has a negative sentiment, while `1` indicates a positive feeling.
### Data Splits
The number of examples and the proportion sentiments are shown below:

| Data                | Train   | Validation    | Test  |
| :------------------ | ------: | ------------: | ----: |
| Size                | 119.988 | 29.997      |  61.998 |
| Labeled positive    | 60.019  | 14.947      | 31029   |
| Labeled negative    | 59.969  | 15.050      | 30969   |
## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
Existing paraphrase identification datasets lack sentence pairs that have high lexical overlap without being paraphrases. Models trained on such data fail to distinguish pairs like *flights from New York to Florida* and *flights from Florida to New York*.
