# Simplified Czech News dataset

This is a simplified and subsampled test subset from the original [czech_news_dataset_v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/hynky/czech_news_dataset_v2).

Only 5 basic news categories are considered:
1. Zahraniční (Foreign)
2. Domácí (Local)
3. Sport (Sport)
4. Kultura (Culture)
5. Ekonomika (Economy)

The test set includes 200 examples per category, 1000 examples in total. 
Apart from the category label, each example also contains the article's headline, brief summary, full textual content, optional keywords, original category specification, and URL.

This dataset was created for use within the [Czech-Bench](https://gitlab.com/jirkoada/czech-bench) evaluation framework.
