# PyTorch Forum Topics Dataset |
|
|
|
This dataset contains topic metadata scraped from the [PyTorch Community Forum](https://discuss.pytorch.org). It includes comprehensive information about forum topics that can be used for various NLP tasks related to PyTorch and deep learning discussions. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Description |
|
|
|
- **Total Topics**: 73,380 |
|
- **Source**: PyTorch Community Forum (discuss.pytorch.org) |
|
- **Format**: JSONL (JSON Lines) |
|
- **Language**: English |
|
- **License**: MIT |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|

Each record in the dataset contains the following fields: |
|
|
|
- `id`: Unique topic identifier |
|
- `title`: Topic title |
|
- `slug`: URL-friendly version of the title |
|
- `posts_count`: Number of posts in the topic |
|
- `reply_count`: Number of replies |
|
- `highest_post_number`: Highest post number in the topic |
|
- `image_url`: Featured image URL (if any) |
|
- `created_at`: Topic creation timestamp |
|
- `last_posted_at`: Last activity timestamp |
|
- `bumped`: Whether the topic was bumped |
|
- `bumped_at`: Bump timestamp |
|
- `archetype`: Topic type (e.g., "regular") |
|
- `unseen`: Whether the topic is unseen |
|
- `last_read_post_number`: Last read post number |
|
- `unread`: Number of unread posts |
|
- `new_posts`: Number of new posts |
|
- `pinned`: Whether the topic is pinned |
|
- `unpinned`: Unpinned timestamp |
|

|
- `closed`: Whether the topic is closed |
|
- `archived`: Whether the topic is archived |
|
- `notification_level`: Notification level |
|
- `bookmarked`: Whether the topic is bookmarked |
|
- `liked`: Whether the topic is liked |
|
- `views`: Number of views |
|
- `like_count`: Number of likes |
|
- `has_summary`: Whether the topic has a summary |
|
- `last_poster_username`: Username of the last poster |
|
- `category_id`: Category identifier |
|
- `op_like_count`: Original post like count |
|
- `pinned_globally`: Whether pinned globally |
|
- `featured_link`: Featured link (if any) |
|
- `posters`: List of users who posted in the topic |
|
|
|
## Use Cases |
|
|
|
This dataset can be used for: |
|
|
|
1. **Topic Analysis**: Understanding discussion patterns in the PyTorch community |
|
2. **Text Classification**: Categorizing forum topics by content |
|
3. **Trend Analysis**: Analyzing the evolution of PyTorch-related discussions |
|
4. **Community Insights**: Understanding user engagement and popular topics |
|
5. **Question-Answer Extraction**: Identifying potential Q&A pairs for further processing |
|
6. **Language Modeling**: Training models on PyTorch-specific terminology and discussions |
|
|
|
## Data Collection |
|
|
|
The data was collected using an automated scraper that: |
|
- Respects the forum's rate limits |
|
- Uses proper HTTP headers and session management |
|
- Implements exponential backoff for failed requests |
|
- Focuses on publicly available topic metadata |
|
|
|
## Ethical Considerations |
|
|
|
- This dataset contains only publicly available information from the PyTorch forum |
|
- No private or sensitive information is included |
|
- The data collection process was designed to be respectful of the forum's resources |
|
- Users should respect the original forum's terms of service when using this data |
