Add paper link and metadata

Browse files

Hi, I'm Niels from the Hugging Face community science team. I've updated the dataset card to include a link to the associated research paper and added the arXiv ID to the metadata. This ensures the dataset is properly cited and linked to its paper page on the Hub.
