# CPC classification datasets
These datasets have been used to train the CPC ([Cooperative Patent Classification](https://www.cooperativepatentclassification.org/home)) classification models mentioned in the article **_Hähnke, V. D., Wéry, A., Wirth, M., & Klenner-Bajaja, A. (2025). Encoder models at the European Patent Office: Pre-training and use cases. World Patent Information, 81, 102360. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wpi.2025.102360_**.
Columns:
- `publication_number`: the patent publication number, the content of the publication can be looked up using e.g. [Espacenet](https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search?q=EP4030126A1) or the [EPO’s Open Patent Services](https://www.epo.org/en/searching-for-patents/data/web-services/ops)
- `labels`: the CPC symbols used as prediction labels (CPC release 2024.01)
## Datasets
### Subgroup dataset
Used to train the _subgroup_ model with 224 542 labels.
How to load the dataset:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("mwirth-epo/cpc-classification-data", name="subgroup")
```
### Main group dataset
Used to train the _main group_ model with 9 025 labels.
This dataset was created from the subgroup dataset with a filter excluding main groups with less than 20 documents.
How to load the dataset:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("mwirth-epo/cpc-classification-data", name="main_group")
```
