The Yahoo!/O'Reilly Tech Buzz Game tests the theory that a free electronic market can predict trends in technology. In the game, users buy and sell fantasy "stocks" in various technologies. The prices of the stocks fluctuate according to supply and demand using a market mechanism invented at Yahoo! called a dynamic pari-mutuel market. Weekly dividends are paid out to stockholders based on the current "buzz score," or percentage of Yahoo! searches associated with each technology. This dataset shows all the transactions over the course of the Tech Buzz Game, divided into two periods. The first period spans April 1, 2005 to July 31, 2005, after which all markets were closed and cashed out according to final buzz scores at that time. The second period spans August 22, 2005 to the present, at the beginning of which new markets were established and the market reset to a starting point. Traders are represented as meaningless anonymous numbers so that no identifying information is revealed. In addition, the dataset contains buzz score data showing the daily percentages of search volume for each stock. Researchers may use the data to test the predictive value of the market or to test market behavioral theories. The size of this dataset is 25 MB.

Yahoo! Search Marketing operates Yahoo!'s auction-based platform for selling advertising space next to Yahoo! Search results. Advertisers bid for the right to appear alongside the results of particular search queries. For example, a travel vendor might bid for the right to appear alongside the results of the search query "Las Vegas travel". An advertiser's bid is the price the advertiser is willing to pay whenever a user actually clicks on their ad. Yahoo! Search Marketing auctions are continuous and dynamic. Advertisers may alter their bids at any time, for example raising their bid for the query "buy flowers" during the week before Valentines Day. This dataset contains the bids over time of all advertisers participating in Yahoo! Search Marketing auctions for the top 1000 search queries during the period from June 15, 2002, to June 14, 2003. Advertisers' identities and query phrases are represented as meaningless anonymous numbers so that no identifying information about advertisers is revealed. The data may be used by economists or other researchers to investigate the behavior of bidders in this unique real-time auction format, responsible for roughly two billion dollars in revenue in 2005 and growing.

This SW1 dataset contains a snapshot of the English Wikipedia dated from 2006-11-04 processed with a number of publicly-available NLP tools. In order to build SW1, we started from the XML-ized Wikipedia dump distributed by the University of Amsterdam. This snapshot of the English Wikipedia contains 1,490,688 entries (excluding redirects). First, the text is extracted from the XML entry and split into sentences using simple heuristics. Then we ran several syntactic and semantic NLP taggers on it and collected their output. Raw Data (Multitag format) The multitag format contains all the Wikipedia text plus all the semantic tags. All other data files can be reconstructed from this. A multitag file contains several Wikipedia entries. The Wikipedia snapshot was cut into 3000 multitag files each containing roughly 500 entries. There are 4 files in this dataset ranging in size from 1.3 Gbyte to 1.8 Gbyte.

Yahoo! Music offers a wealth of information and services related to many aspects of music. This dataset represents a snapshot of the Yahoo! Music community's preferences for various musical items. A distinctive feature of this dataset is that user ratings are given to entities of four different types: tracks, albums, artists, and genres. In addition, the items are tied together within a hierarchy. That is, for a track we know the identity of its album, performing artist and associated genres. Similarly we have artist and genre annotation for the albums. We provide four different versions of the dataset, differing by their number of ratings, so that researchers can select the version best catering for their needs and hardware availability. In addition, one of the datasets is oriented towards a unique learning-to-rank goal, unlike the predictive / error-minimization criteria common at recommender systems. The dataset contains ratings provided by true Y! Music customers during 1999-2009. Both users and items (tracks, albums, artists and genres) are represented as meaningless anonymous numbers so that no identifying information is revealed. ) The important and unique features of the dataset are fourfold: It is of very large scale compared to other datasets in the field, e.g, 13X larger than the Netflix prize dataset. It has a very large set of items – much larger than any similar dataset, where usually only number of users is large. There are four different categories of items, which are all linked together within a defined hierarchy. It allows performing session analysis of user activities. We expect that the novel features of the dataset will make it a subject of active research and a standard in the field of recommender systems. In particular, the dataset is expected to ignite research into algorithms that utilize hierarchical structure annotating the item set. Dataset does not require department head approval. The size of this dataset is 1.5 Gbyte.

Online content recommendation represents an important example of interactive machine learning problems that require an efficient tradeoff between exploration and exploitation. Such problems, often formulated as various types of multi-armed bandits, have received extensive research in the machine learning and statistics literature. Due to the inherent interactive nature, creating a benchmark dataset for reliable algorithm evaluation is not as straightforward as in other fields of machine learning or recommendation, whose objects are often prediction. Our dataset contains a fraction of user click log for news articles displayed in the Featured Tab of the Today Module on Yahoo! Front Page during the first ten days in May 2009. The articles were chosen uniformly at random, which allows one to use a recently developed method of Li et al. [WSDM 2011] to obtain an unbiased evaluation of a bandit algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first real-world benchmark evaluating bandit algorithms reliably. The dataset contains 45,811,883 user visits to the Today Module. For each visit, both the user and each of the candidate articles are associated with a feature vector of dimension 6 (including a constant feature), constructed using a conjoint analysis with a bilinear model; see Chu et al. [KDD 2009] for more details. The size of this dataset is 1.1GB

Such problems, often formulated as various types of multi-armed bandits, have received extensive research in the machine learning and statistics literature. Due to the inherent interactive nature, creating a benchmark dataset for reliable algorithm evaluation is not as straightforward as in other fields of machine learning or recommendation, whose objects are often prediction. Similar to the previous version, this dataset contains a fraction of user click log for news articles displayed in the Featured Tab of the Today Module on Yahoo!'s front page. The articles were chosen uniformly at random, which allows one to use a recently developed method of Li et al. [WSDM 2011] to obtain an unbiased evaluation of a bandit algorithm. Compared to the previous version, this data is larger (containing 15 days of data from October 2 to 16, 2011), and contains raw features (so that researchers can try out different feature generation methods in multi-armed bandits). The dataset contains 28041015 user visits to the Today Module on Yahoo!'s frontpage. For each visit, the user is associated with a binary feature vector of dimension 136 (including a constant feature with ID 1) that contains information about the user like age, gender, behavior targeting features, etc. For sensitivity and privacy reasons, feature definitions are not revealed, and browser cookies (bcookies) of the users are replaced with a constant string 'user'.

With this dataset you can train, test, and benchmark entity linking systems on the task of linking web search queries – within the context of a search session – to entities. Entities are a key enabling component for semantic search, as many information needs can be answered by returning a list of entities, their properties, and/or their relations. A first step in any such scenario is to determine which entities appear in a query – a process commonly referred to as named entity resolution, named entity disambiguation, or semantic linking.

This dataset allows researchers and other practitioners to evaluate their systems for linking web search engine queries to entities. The dataset contains manually identified links to entities in the form of Wikipedia articles and provides the means to train, test, and benchmark such systems using manually created, gold standard data. With releasing this dataset publicly, we aim to foster research into entity linking systems for web search queries. To this end, we also include sessions and queries from the TREC Session track (years 2010–2013). Moreover, since the linked entities are aligned with a specific part of each query (a "span"), this data can also be used to evaluate systems that identify spans in queries, i.e, that perform query segmentation for web search queries, in the context of search sessions.

Yahoo! Answers is a website where people post questions and answers, all of which are public to any web user willing to browse or download them. The data we have collected is a subset of the Yahoo! Answers corpus from 2006 to 2015 consisting of 1.7 million questions posed in French, and their corresponding answers. We only include questions which have been resolved, that is, questions which have received one or more answers. The dataset may serve as a testbed for multilingual question answering system as well as research into user behavior on community question answer sites in other languages.data

The dataset includes English queries that were input to a search engine in 2012-2014, and identified as a "factoid" queries, i.e., referring to a short fact (filtered by the answer being no longer than 3 words). These queries were identified based on questions in English on Yahoo Answers that have a short best answer and a link to English Wikipedia. The dataset includes the query, its corresponding question title, the best answer, a number indicating the occurrence frequency of the query, the link(s) to English Wikipedia, and the URL of the Yahoo Answers page.

This data set contains a small sample of user profiles and their interests generated from several months of user activities at Yahoo webpages. Each user is represented as one feature vector and its associated labels, where all user identifiers were removed. Feature vectors are derived from user activities during a training period of 90 days, and labels from a test period of 2 weeks that immediately followed the training period. Each dimension of the feature vector quantifies a user activity with a certain interest category from an internal Yahoo taxonomy (e.g., "Sports/Baseball", "Travel/Europe"), calculated from user interactions with pages, ads, and search results, all of which are internally classified into these interest categories. The labels are derived in a similar way, based on user interactions with classified pages, ads, and search results during the test period. It is important to note that there exists a hierarchical structure among the labels, which is also provided in the data set.

All feature and label names are replaced with meaningless anonymous numbers so that no identifying information is revealed. The dataset is of particular interest to Machine Learning and Data Mining communities, as it may serve as a testbed for classification and multi-label algorithms, as well as for classifiers that account for structure among labels.

Named entity recognition and linking systems use statistical models trained over large amounts of labeled text data. A major challenge is to be able to accurately detect entities, in new languages, at scale, with limited labeled data available, and while consuming a limited amount of resources (memory and processing power).

In this dataset we release datapacks for English, Spanish, and Chinese built for our unsupervised, accurate, and extensible multilingual named entity recognition and linking system Fast Entity Linker.

In our system, we use entity embeddings, click-log data, and efficient clustering methods to achieve high precision. The system achieves a low memory footprint and fast execution times by using compressed data-structures and aggressive hashing functions. The models released in this dataset include "entity embeddings" and "wikipedia click-log data".

Entity Embeddings are vector-based representations that capture how entities are referred to in language contexts. We train entity embeddings using Wikipedia articles and use hyperlinks in the articles to their canonical forms for their associated entities.

Wikipedia click-logs gives very useful signals to disambiguate partial or ambiguous entity mentions, such as Obama (Michelle or Barack), Liverpool (City or Football team), or Fox (Person or Organization). We extract the in-wiki links from Wikipedia and create pairs (alias, entity) where the alias is the text in the anchor and the entity is the id of a Wikipedia page pointed out by an outgoing link.

The dataset includes non-deleted English questions from Yahoo Answers, posted between the years 2006 and 2016, sampled uniformly at random. Each question include a URL to its Yahoo Answers page, its title, description, high-level category (one of 26), direct category, and a label marking it as informational ('0') or conversational ('1'). A small subset of the questions is marked as borderline ('2').

The dataset contains comment threads posted in response to online news articles. We annotated the dataset at the comment-level and the thread-level. The annotations include 6 dimensions of individual comments and 3 dimensions of threads on the whole. The coding was done by professional, trained editors and untrained crowdsourced workers. The corpus contains annotations for a novel corpus of 2.4k threads and 9.2k comments from Yahoo News and 1k threads from Internet Argument Corpus.

Tagging textual documents/articles with relevant tags is an important problem for many applications including Yahoo News, Newsroom, Tumblr, and other textual media platforms. Multilabel learning is at the core of this problem and recently got a revived interest. There are many standard datasets available for this task but all of them provide features and not the actual text of the documents. This corpus provides the actual text so that the researchers can derive their own features that are good best for their algorithms. Apart from that, this corpus to the best of our knowledge is the only one that provides a ranking of labels for each document in terms of its importance. Related publications to be cited: 1. "RIPML: A Restricted Isometry based Approach to Multilabel Learning, Akshay Soni and Yashar Mehdad. FLAIRS 2017.” 2.

The dataset is a collection of 964 hours (22K videos) of news broadcast videos that appeared on Yahoo news website's properties, e.g., World News, US News, Sports, Finance, and a mobile application during August 2017. The videos were either part of an article or displayed standalone in a news property. Many of the videos served in this platform lack important metadata, such as an exhaustive list of topics associated with the video. We label each of the videos in the dataset using a collection of 336 tags based on a news taxonomy designed by in-house editors. In the taxonomy, the closer the tag is to the root, the more generic (topically) it is.

This dataset was developed to train and evaluate models for recommending related entities on Wikipedia. It consists of a large, normalized, entity graph generated in May 2020 from Wikipedia by aggregating hyperlinks between Wikipedia pages across languages (10 million vertices and 998 million edges, each with some extra features), the corresponding entity embeddings trained from the graph using the lg2vec method (10 million vectors of dimension 200), and a labeled dataset consisting of 45k query entities and their list of recommended related entities that can be used as ground truth for training and evaluating related-entity recommendation systems. We are making it available via our Webscope data-sharing program to further advance research in graph mining and entity recommendation.

Here are all the papers published on this Webscope Dataset:

We share user activity trail datasets of timestamp annotated sequences of activities collected from users online, derived from various sources, e.g., Yahoo Search, commercial email receipts, reading news, and other content on publisher's webpages associated with Verizon Media such as Yahoo and AOL homepages, Yahoo Finance, Sports and News, HuffPost, TechCrunch, etc., advertising data from Yahoo Gemini and Verizon Media DSP, including ad activity and advertiser data (e.g., ad impressions, clicks, conversions, and site visits). These sequences precede events of particular interest to advertisers. Two types of events of interest are considered: conversion, in retargeting and prospecting setup, and retargeting events. These three setups create three datasets for two major advertisers, from retail and communications categories, running conversion campaigns with Verizon Media collected over 100 days ending in May 2019, totaling 6 distinct datasets.

- The first dataset type is a conversion prediction dataset with a sequence of all user activities preceding the conversion with an advertiser.
- The second dataset type is a prospective conversion prediction dataset with a sequence of eligible (non-retargeting) user activities preceding the conversion with an advertiser.
- The third dataset contains a sequence of all user activities preceding the first recorded retargeting event of a user.

For dataset labels, Advertiser 1 defined three unique conversions, while Advertiser 2 defined one, both advertisers define a single retargeting target rule.

These datasets contain no user information, while activities are anonymized and timestamp information is misaligned between different user trails while preserving all necessary information. Researchers may validate conversion prediction and other systems and algorithms run on users’ historical data activities. The dataset may serve as a testbed for modeling sequences of users’ activities and modeling temporal information through Deep Learning or other Machine Learning and Statistics techniques for a variety of tasks in supervised and unsupervised learning.
