|
| ## Dataset Details |
|
|
| ### Dataset Description |
|
|
| This dataset is a collection of **GitHub Issue and Pull Request metadata** scraped from the public **`huggingface/datasets`** repository using the GitHub REST API. It contains **3,261 distinct issue records** (excluding pull requests) that were extracted from an initial fetch of 7,808 samples. The data provides a rich corpus of **real-world technical communication** focused on open-source software development, covering the repository's activity up to late 2025. |
|
|
| The data provides a rich corpus of **real-world technical communication**, primarily in **English (en)**, focused on the **open-source software development** domain of the `datasets` library. The dataset was curated to offer a clean, usable source for tasks like **issue classification** and **summarization** within a highly technical context. |
|
|
| ## Uses |
|
|
| This simplified dataset primarily supports tasks based on textual content and intrinsic labels (`state`). |
|
|
| **text-classification: Issue State Classification** |
| The dataset can be used to train a model for **Issue State Classification**, which consists in **predicting whether an issue/pull request is currently 'open' or 'closed'** based solely on its `title` and `body` text. Success on this task is typically measured by achieving a high **Accuracy** or **F1-score**. |
|
|
| **other:issue-summarization** |
| The dataset can be used to train a model for **Issue Summarization** (Sequence-to-Sequence), which consists in **generating a concise title/summary** given the longer `body` text of the issue. Success on this task is typically measured by achieving a high **ROUGE-L** score. |
|
|
| **other:issue-type-classification** |
| The dataset can be used to train a model for **Issue Type Classification**, which consists in **classifying whether a record represents a bug, a feature request, or general question** (derived or annotated from the `title` and `body` fields). |
|
|
| ### Languages |
|
|
| The primary language represented in the dataset is **English (en)** (BCP-47 code: `en`), consistent with standard practice for global open-source projects. The text is technical, informal, and conversational, reflecting developer communication on a platform like GitHub. |

| ### Data Fields |
| All original fields are retained except for milestone. This includes complex nested structures and all timestamps. |
|
|
| id: int64. The unique GitHub identifier. |
|
|
| number: int64. The sequential issue/PR number. |
|
|
| title: string. The title of the issue/PR (Primary input). |
|
|
| state: string. The current status (open or closed). |
|
|
| comments: int32. The number of comments. |
|
|
| created_at: timestamp. The creation time. |
| |
| updated_at: timestamp. The last update time. |
|
|
| closed_at: timestamp. The closure time (null if open). |
| |
| user: struct. Metadata about the author. |
| |
| labels: list[struct]. A list of labels applied. |
| |
| pull_request: struct. Metadata specific to a Pull Request (includes merged_at timestamp). |
| |
| body: string. The main text description (Primary input). |
| |
| assignees: list[struct]. A list of assigned users. |
| |
| reactions: struct. Reaction counts (e.g., +1, heart). |
| |
| milestone: (DROPPED) This is the only field removed in normalization. |
| |
| ### Data Splits |
| |
| | Split Name | Sample Type | Number of Examples | |
| | :--- | :--- | :--- | |
| | initial_fetch | Issues & PRs | 7,808 | |
| | train | Pure Issues | 3,261 | |
|
|
| ### Criteria for Splitting: |
|
|
| The data was collected as a single stream and is presented as one split (train). |
|
|
| ## Dataset Creation |
|
|
| ### Curation Rationale |
|
|
| The dataset was curated to provide a high-quality corpus of pure issues for supervised learning. The primary motivation was to: 1) Separate Issues from PRs to avoid class confusion; 2) Augment Issues with Comments to provide the full conversational context necessary for realistic AI applications like automatic issue response or summarization. |
|
|
| ### Initial Data Collection and Normalization |
|
|
| Process: Data was collected using the GitHub REST API (/repos/huggingface/datasets/issues) with state=all, resulting in 7,808 total records (issues and PRs). |
|
|
| Separation: The initial records were filtered to include only records where the pull_request field was null, resulting in 3,261 issues. |
| |
| Augmentation: A subsequent fetch was performed to retrieve all associated comments for each of the 3,261 issues. |
| |
| Normalization: Only the milestone field was explicitly dropped prior to saving the .jsonl file. All other original fields were retained intact. |
| |
| ### Who are the source language producers? |
| |
| The data was human-generated by developers, engineers, and community members interacting with the huggingface/datasets repository on GitHub. |
| |
| |
| ## Personal and Sensitive Information |
| |
| Fields like user contain publicly available GitHub login names and user IDs, which are considered personal identifiers. |
| The raw text in the body field may contain indirect personal or sensitive information posted by users. |
| |
| ## Considerations for Using the Data |
| |
| ### Discussion of Biases |
| |
| The primary bias is Selection Bias: The data is specific to the datasets library and is heavily biased toward technical, engineering, and machine learning terminology. |
| |
| ## Additional Information |
| |
| ### Licensing Information |
| |
| The source data is derived from a public GitHub repository under the Apache-2.0 License. |
