 ## Description
 
 AstroM3Dataset is a time-series astronomy dataset containing photometry, spectra, and metadata features for variable stars. 
+The dataset was constructed by cross-matching publicly available astronomical datasets, 
+primarily from the ASAS-SN (Shappee et al. 2014) variable star catalog (Jayasinghe et al. 2019) 
+and LAMOST spectroscopic survey (Cui et al. 2012), along with data from 
+WISE (Wright et al. 2010), GALEX (Morrissey et al. 2007), 2MASS (Skrutskie et al. 2006) and Gaia EDR3 (Gaia Collaboration et al. 2021).
+
 The dataset includes multiple subsets (`full`, `sub10`, `sub25`, `sub50`) and supports different random seeds (`42`, `66`, `0`, `12`, `123`). 
 Each sample consists of:
