| |
|
| | - **Point of Contact:** [Liang Jinbin](liangjinbin93@gmail.com) |

| | | `user` | dict | Contributor information (avatar URL, login, ID, profile URL, etc.) | |
| | | `labels` | list | Issue labels (length: 0 – 4; e.g., "enhancement", "bug") | |
| | | `state` | string | Issue state (2 values: "open" or "closed") | |
| | | `locked` | bool | Whether the issue is locked (1 class: `false`) | |
| | | `comments` | int64 | Number of comments (range: 0 – 70) | |
| | | `created_at` | string (date) | Creation timestamp (range: 2020-04-14 – 2025-10-20) | |
| | | `updated_at` | string (date) | Last update timestamp | |
| | | `closed_at` | string | Closure timestamp (length: 3 – 25 characters; `NaT` if open) | |
| | | `author_association`| string | Contributor's association with the repo (4 values: MEMBER, CONTRIBUTOR, NONE, etc.) | |
| | | `is_pull_request` | bool | Whether the entry is a pull request (2 classes: `true`/`false`) | |
| | | `pull_request` | dict | Pull request details (diff URL, HTML URL, merged timestamp, etc.) | |
| | | `reactions` | dict | User reactions (e.g., "+1", "heart", "rocket"; includes total count) | |
| |
|
| | ### Sample Data |
| | | id | number | title | state | is_pull_request | created_at | comments | |
| | |--------------|--------|----------------------------------------|-------|-----------------|----------------------|----------| |
| | | 3531240254 | 7824 | Fix batch_size default description in to_polars docstrings | open | true | 2025-10-20 06:41:20 | 1 | |
| | | 3525440347 | 7823 | Fix random seed on shuffle and interleave_datasets | open | true | 2025-10-17 14:11:18 | 0 | |
| | | 3520913195 | 7821 | Building a dataset with large variable size arrays results in error | open | false | 2025-10-17 09:52:05 | 0 | |
| |
|
| | ## Content Categories |
| | The dataset’s entries can be categorized by type and purpose, reflecting common GitHub workflow activities: |
| |
|
| | ### 1. Pull Requests (Majority of Samples) |
| | - **Bug Fixes**: Resolve technical issues (e.g., "Fix random seed on shuffle", "Fix nested data conversions error in parquet loading"). |
| | - **Feature Additions**: Introduce new functionality (e.g., "Add nifti support", "Allow streaming hdf5 files", "Add `num_proc` argument to `Dataset.to_sql`"). |
| | - **Documentation Updates**: Improve docs (e.g., "Fix batch_size default description in docstrings", "Docs: fix typo, improve readability"). |
| | - **Dependency & CI Adjustments**: Update dependencies or CI configurations (e.g., "fix conda deps", "Define CI future"). |
| | |
| | ### 2. Issues |
| | - **Bug Reports**: Report technical problems (e.g., "Audio dataset is not decoding on 4.1.1", "Cannot load dataset with nested data"). |
| | - **Feature Requests**: Propose new features (e.g., "Support scientific data formats", "Concatenate IterableDataset instances in RoundRobin manner"). |
| | - **Documentation Feedback**: Highlight missing or incorrect docs (e.g., "Missing documentation for `Dataset.from_dict`"). |
| |
|
| | ## Dataset Characteristics |
| | - **Rich Metadata**: Includes detailed contributor, timestamp, and interaction data for contextual analysis. |
| | - **Real-World Relevance**: Captures authentic software development workflows and challenges in the Hugging Face ecosystem. |
| | - **Structured & Unstructured Data**: Combines tabular metadata (e.g., `state`, `comments`) with unstructured text (e.g., `title`, `body`). |
| | - **Time-Span Coverage**: Spans 5+ years, enabling trend analysis of project development and issue patterns. |
| |
|
| | ## Usage Scenarios |
| | - **Text Classification**: Train models to classify issue types (bug vs. feature request), pull request purposes, or contributor roles. |
| | - **Text Retrieval**: Build systems to retrieve similar issues/pull requests for duplicate detection or solution reference. |
| | - **Software Engineering Research**: Analyze issue resolution times, contributor collaboration patterns, or bug frequency in open-source projects. |
| | - **Sentiment Analysis**: Evaluate sentiment in issue discussions (e.g., frustration, approval) to inform community management. |
| | - **Automated Issue Triage**: Develop tools to auto-label issues or assign contributors based on content and metadata. |
| |
|
| | ## Limitations |
| | - **Repository-Specific**: Focuses exclusively on `huggingface/datasets`, limiting generalizability to other GitHub projects. |
| | - **No Multilingual Support**: All content is in English, excluding non-English GitHub communities. |
| | - **Nested Data Complexity**: Some columns (e.g., `user`, `pull_request`) are nested dictionaries, requiring preprocessing for simple analysis. |
| | - **Missing Context**: May lack external context (e.g., linked commits, external references) that could enhance analysis. |
| |
|
| | ## Recommended Usage |
| | - **Preprocessing**: Flatten nested columns (e.g., extract `user.login` from `user` dict) for tabular analysis. |
| | - **Text Cleaning**: Remove code blocks, URLs, and markdown formatting from `body` for NLP tasks like classification. |
| | - **Combination with Other Data**: Pair with GitHub commit or repository data to enrich analysis of issue-resolution workflows. |
| | - **Filtering**: Subset data by `is_pull_request`, `state`, or `labels` to focus on specific task needs (e.g., bug fix classification). |
| |
|
| | ## Example Code Snippet |
| | Load the dataset and explore key fields: |
| | ```python |
| | from datasets import load_dataset |
| | |
| | # Load the dataset |
| | dataset = load_dataset("Jason-ice-SCUT/github-issues", split="train") |
| | |
| | # Inspect basic info |
| | print(f"Dataset size: {len(dataset)}") |
| | print(f"Column names: {dataset.column_names[:10]}") # Show first 10 columns |
| | |
| | # Filter pull requests related to "bug fixes" |
| | bug_fixes = dataset.filter( |
| | lambda x: x["is_pull_request"] and "fix" in x["title"].lower() |
| | ) |
| | print(f"Number of bug fix PRs: {len(bug_fixes)}") |
| | |
| | # Extract issue titles and bodies for text classification |
| | text_data = dataset.select_columns(["title", "body", "is_pull_request"]) |
