# Cybersecurity Topic Classification (CTC) Dataset

**Note:** This is an unofficial upload of the Cybersecurity Topic Classification (CTC) dataset. The original dataset and accompanying paper were developed by Elijah Pelofske, Lorie M. Liebrock, and Vincent Urias.

This dataset comprises training and validation data for the Cybersecurity Topic Classification (CTC) tool, as introduced in the paper "[A Robust Cybersecurity Topic Classification Tool](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.02473)" by Elijah Pelofske, Lorie M. Liebrock, and Vincent Urias. The dataset facilitates the detection of cybersecurity-related discussions in natural English text.

## Dataset Overview

The dataset includes unprocessed English text samples labeled as either cybersecurity-related or non-cybersecurity-related. These samples were sourced from Reddit, StackExchange sites, and arXiv documents, utilizing user-defined tags and metadata for labeling. Please note that the data has not undergone manual labeling, post-processing, filtering, or censorship; therefore, some labels may be incorrect.

## Accessing the Data

You can load this dataset directly using the Hugging Face `datasets` library:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("naufalso/cybersec-topic-classification-dataset")
```

## Usage

This dataset is intended for research purposes, particularly in training and evaluating machine learning models for cybersecurity topic classification. Users should be aware of the potential for incorrect labels and the unprocessed nature of the text data.

## Citation

If you utilize this dataset in your research, please cite the original paper:

## Acknowledgments

We extend our gratitude to the authors for providing this dataset and to the platforms Reddit, StackExchange, and arXiv for making their data publicly accessible.
