Simple wikipedia dataset

We are releasing a cleaned and labeled dataset for the english Simple Wikipedia↗ at github↗. Every article is labeled with categories. The categories dataset provides category name, url and relationships for each category. This data is derived from the upstream wikipedia dumps. See readme↗ for details of sources and scripts used for cleanups.

Some quick stats

  • 148714 articles/pages
  • 41571 categories
  • Max sub categories in a category is 10624
  • Max pages in a category is 20473
  • 457 categories are present in Articles but not in Category list
    • Due to case mismatch
    • Or extra unicode characters etc.

This dataset may be useful in classification experiments. I hope to do one more release fixing the 457 errors in future. Onto experiments and learning now!
