# E-thos Project: Climate Change

> Hugging Face copy of the KiltHub (Carnegie Mellon University) record [doi:10.1184/R1/12964481.v1](https://doi.org/10.1184/R1/12964481.v1), converted to Parquet for [Project Protostar](https://huggingface.co/CMU-OSPO). Please cite the original record.

This repository contains materials associated with a project which explores appeals to expertise by climate scientists in hearings before Congress. These materials include plain text files in UTF-7 and ASCII format of testimonies by individual scientists in hearings from 1985-2013 as well as meta-data about each of the hearings and scientific witnesses in the corpus.

## Quick start

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("CMU-OSPO/E-thos_Project_Climate_Change", "e_thos_project__climate_change_analysis_results_wynn", split="train")
df = ds.to_pandas()
```

Other subsets load the same way; pass a name from the table below.

## Subsets

| Subset | Rows | Description |
|---|---:|---|
| `e_thos_project__climate_change_analysis_results_wynn` | 816 |  |
| `e_thos_project__climate_change_metadata_qualitative_wynn` | 414 |  |
| `e_thos_project__climate_change_metadata_quantitative_oral_wynn` | 267 |  |
| `e_thos_project__climate_change_metadata_quantitative_prepared_wynn` | 250 |  |

## Changes from the original files

- Details of the KiltHub to Parquet conversion are in [`notes_preprocessing.txt`](./blob/main/notes_preprocessing.txt).
