# Pravda.sk URL-based Clustering Dataset

A Slovak news article clustering dataset based on URL structure from [pravda.sk](https://pravda.sk), designed for evaluating text clustering and embedding models.

## Dataset Description

This dataset contains 15,000 Slovak news articles categorized by their URL structure. Articles are organized into 50 categories across 11 subdomains, providing a hierarchical classification based on editorial decisions.

### Use Case

This dataset is designed for:
- Evaluating Slovak text embedding models
- Clustering benchmark tasks (MTEB)
- Text classification experiments
- Slovak NLP research

## Dataset Structure

### Fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `url` | string | Original article URL |
| `title` | string | Article headline |
| `summary` | string | Article summary/lead paragraph |
| `content` | string | Full article text |
| `date` | string | Publication date (ISO format) |
| `tags` | list[string] | Original pravda.sk tags |
| `url_category` | string | Full category path (e.g., `sportweb/tenis`) |
| `url_subdomain` | string | Subdomain (e.g., `sportweb`) |

- **Balanced**: 300 samples per category

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("NaiveNeuron/pravda-sk-url-clustering")

# Access the test split
articles = dataset["test"]

# Example: Get articles by category
tennis_articles = [a for a in articles if a["url_category"] == "sportweb/tenis"]
```
