# Subcategories-2000-en
A hierarchical label set of 2,000 English subcategories organized under the 100 top-level categories from [`categories-100-en`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/RowRed/categories-100-en), with exactly 20 subcategories per parent category.
## Dataset Description
- **Total items:** 2,000
- **Format:** JSONL (one JSON object per line)
- **Fields:**
- `"subcategory"` (string) – granular topic or task label
- `"category"` (string) – parent category from the 100-category set
- **Language:** English
- **License:** Apache 2.0
- **Source:** LLM-generated via DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 (self-instruct). Not affiliated with DeepSeek.
## Structure
Each of the 100 parent categories has exactly 20 subcategories:
| category | count |
|---|---|
| Physics | 20 |
| Chemistry | 20 |
| ... | ... |
| Sustainable Living | 20 |
| **Total** | **2,000** |
## Use cases
- Hierarchical / coarse-to-fine text classification
- Testing long-list label selection (2,000-class label space) in LLMs
- Prompt or intent template generation for educational chatbots
- Taxonomy quality checks and label-expansion experiments
## Limitations
- Generated by an LLM and not curated by human subject-matter experts; expect some overlap between neighboring categories (e.g., "Marine Biology" vs. "Oceanography").
- The parent `category` field matches `categories-100-en`, but subcategory phrasing can be inconsistent in granularity ("Saving strategies" vs. "Mutual funds and ETFs").
- Educational/descriptive labels only — not verified facts or medical advice.
## Quickstart
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("RowRed/subcategories-2000-en", split="train")
print(ds.num_rows) # 2000
print(ds.features) # {'subcategory': Value('string'), 'category': Value('string')}
# Group by parent category
from collections import Counter
counts = Counter(row["category"] for row in ds)
print(len(counts)) # 100 (unique parents)
print(all(v == 20 for v in counts.values())) # True
```
