This dataset was collected through an LMS system as part of work conducted at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. The design and setup of the data collection process required substantial time and effort from both me and my colleague.
I served as the leader of the Teaching Assistant (TA) group responsible for developing the list of questions included in the dataset. In this role, I reviewed and refined the questions and provided guidance and specific revisions to other TAs, who then implemented the corresponding adjustments. I therefore made substantial contributions to the development and quality control of the materials included in the dataset.
I was not informed, consulted, or asked for permission regarding the publication or redistribution of this dataset on Hugging Face. Please remove this dataset and your paper immediately. If you intend to publish research based on this dataset, please first discuss it with the people who were directly involved in developing the dataset and obtain the appropriate authorization before proceeding with publication.
Hi @Tekoo ,
We would like to let you know that this dataset is associated with our accepted paper at EMNLP 2026. You can find the preprint here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.00940.
Please note that while the dataset was collected by one of our authors for this research, we do not hold the copyright. Prior to conducting our experiments, we obtained explicit written permission from the Department to use the data. As stated in our paper, the dataset remains the copyrighted intellectual property of the Department.
If you would like to request access to the processed data, please let us know.
This dataset remains the copyrighted intellectual property of the Department and is released under a specific departmental license intended strictly for educational purposes upon request. Academic researchers may request access under this departmental license. Approved requesters receive the raw source code of every submission, the full problem statements and code templates, the public and private test cases with per-test-case pass/fail labels for every submission, the grading scripts used to compile and evaluate submissions, and the train/test split indices used in our experiments.
Best regards,
Duc
On behalf of the authors
Hi Duc,
As the main person involved in developing and reviewing the questions included in the dataset, I was not informed of or consulted about such permission. Please provide documentation showing that the authors received permission from the Department to use this dataset, especially for distributing problem statements, private test cases, and grading scripts.
Please check carefully with your department regarding whether the relevant people involved in developing the dataset were consulted or gave permission for its use.
Best,
Tekoo
Hi @Tekoo ,
Please see the approval letter attached above. Btw, we do not publicly distribute the dataset, and the data content is credited to the Department, as stated in the paper. The dataset is only accessible to those who have obtained permission from the Department upon request.
Thanks.
Hi Duc,
Thank you for sending the approval letter. This is helpful to understand the situation, and I can now see where the confusion came from.
In your paper, the dataset is described as being credited to the Department, while the approval letter you provided is from the Faculty. Please be aware that these are two different entities, and I think the paper should use the terminology precisely.
My main concern was that I was not informed by anyone from the Department about the use of a dataset in which I was heavily involved, particularly in developing and reviewing the questions and grading system. One of the authors from your team previously contacted me regarding the dataset, but I was never informed afterward that permission had been granted or that the dataset was being provided to your research team. I only became aware of this after seeing a published paper that relies substantially on the dataset. From my perspective, this reflects a lack of communication and is not a professional way to handle research materials.
Please revise the wording from “Department” to “Faculty” in your paper. Some of my colleagues and friends have contacted me about this dataset, and this may affect my professional and research reputation. Thus, I want it to be clear that I was not aware of or involved in the publication or release of this dataset.
In any case, congratulations on your accepted paper.
Best,
Tekoo
