Dataset Overview
This repository contains benchmark datasets for LLM-based topic discovery and traditional topic models. These datasets allow for comparison of different topic modeling approaches, including LLMs. Original data source: GitHub
Paper: LLM-based Topic Discovery
Bills Dataset
The Bills Dataset is a collection of legislative documents with 32,661 bill summaries (train) from the 110th–114th U.S. Congresses, categorized into 21 top-level and 112 secondary-level topics.
- Train Split: 32.7K summaries
- Test Split: 15.2K summaries
