ccdv/patent-classification

Patent Classification: a classification of Patents and abstracts (9 classes).

This dataset is intended for long context classification (non abstract documents are longer that 512 tokens).
Data are sampled from "BIGPATENT: A Large-Scale Dataset for Abstractive and Coherent Summarization." by Eva Sharma, Chen Li and Lu Wang

It contains 9 unbalanced classes, 35k Patents and abstracts divided into 3 splits: train (25k), val (5k) and test (5k).

Note that documents are uncased and space separated (by authors)
