| ### Dataset Summary | |
| The Kannada news dataset contains only the headlines of news article in three categories: | |
| Entertainment, Tech, and Sports. | |
| The data set contains around 6300 news article headlines which are collected from Kannada news websites. | |
| The data set has been cleaned and contains train and test set using which can be used to benchmark topic classification models in Kannada. | |
| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
| [More Information Needed] | |
| ### Languages | |
| Kannada (kn) | |
| ## Dataset Structure | |
| ### Data Instances | |
| The data has two files. A train.csv and valid.csv. An example row of the dataset is as below: | |
| ``` | |
| { | |
| 'headline': 'ಫಿಫಾ ವಿಶ್ವಕಪ್ ಫೈನಲ್: ಅತಿರೇಕಕ್ಕೇರಿದ ಸಂಭ್ರಮಾಚರಣೆ; ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ ಹುಚ್ಚು ವರ್ತನೆಗೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಕ ಖಂಡನೆ', | |
| 'label':'sports' | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| NOTE: The data has very few examples on the technology (class label: 'tech') topic. [More Information Needed] | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| Data has two fields: | |
| - headline: text headline in kannada (string) | |
| - label : corresponding class label which the headlines pertains to in english (string) | |
| ### Data Splits | |
| The dataset is divided into two splits. All the headlines are scraped from news websites on the internet. | |

| ## Considerations for Using the Data | |
| ### Social Impact of Dataset | |
| There are starkingly less amount of data for South Indian languages, especially Kannada, available in digital format which can be used for NLP purposes. | |
| Though having roughly 38 million native speakers, it is a little under-represented language and will benefit from active contribution from the community. | |
| This dataset, however, can just help people get exposed to Kannada and help proceed further active participation for enabling continuous progress and development. | |
