![WPI_Month_Kind](https://huggingface.co/datasets/amylonidis/WPI_Tasos_Vertical/resolve/main/WPI_month_kind.png)

## Dataset Summary

The **WPI_Month_Kind** dataset is a comprehensive collection of approximately 70.000 patent documents from the WPI Test Collection, including only EPO patents,
proportionate to month and kind fields. For example if the patents with kind code A2 for the month of July correspond to the 10 % of the total patents on the WPI collection 
then the patents with kind code A2 for the month of July on the custom subset will also correspond to 10 % of the total patents in the subset. 
Each entry on the dataset encompasses detailed metadata and is structured to facilitate research in patent classification and information retrieval
