| # Demagog.sk Vyroky | |
| ## Dataset Description | |
| Demagog.sk Vyroky is a collection of fact-checked political statements scraped from [Demagog.sk](https://demagog.sk/vyroky). Each record contains the original claim, the speaker, the fact-check verdict, and the supporting analysis written by the Demagog.sk editorial team. | |
| - **Total examples:** 20495 | |
| - **Latest scrape timestamp:** 2025-10-16T21:00:22.850424+00:00 | |
| ### Supported Tasks | |
| - **Fact-checking / claim verification:** predict the fact-check verdict (`verdict`) given the statement and optional context. | |
| - **Evidence summarisation:** leverage the `analysis_text` to train models that generate or evaluate fact-check rationales. | |
| - **Speaker and stance profiling:** analyse claims by political actor or party using the `speaker` and `speaker_party` fields. | |
| ### Languages | |
| - Slovak (`sk`) | |

| ## Data Source and Collection Process | |
| - Statements and annotations originate from Demagog.sk fact-check articles. | |
| - The dataset is gathered via the public site API combined with HTML parsing of individual statement pages. | |
| - Verdict labels and commentary are authored by Demagog.sk fact-checkers. | |
| ## Considerations for Use | |
| - Fact-check labels follow Demagog.sk taxonomy; users may wish to map them to English equivalents or merge classes for specific tasks. | |
| - Commentary text is written in Slovak; downstream tasks may require translation for non-Slovak models. | |
| - Verify licensing and usage policies of Demagog.sk before redistributing or deploying models trained on this dataset. | |
