Topic Tags

Clues are classified into 17 topic categories using keyword and regex matching on both category names and clue text:

science biology space history war presidents geography us_states literature word_play movies television music sports food religion art

Each clue also has a difficulty:N tag (1=easiest, 5=hardest) estimated from dollar value, round, and Daily Double status.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("robworks-software/jeopardy-clues")

# Browse training data
print(f"Training clues: {len(dataset['train'])}")
print(dataset["train"][0])

# Filter by topic
science_clues = dataset["train"].filter(lambda x: "science" in x["topic_tags"])

# Get Final Jeopardy clues
final_jeopardy = dataset["train"].filter(lambda x: x["round"] == "final_jeopardy")

# Find hardest clues (difficulty 5)
hardest = dataset["train"].filter(lambda x: "difficulty:5" in x["topic_tags"])

# Filter Tournament of Champions clues
toc = dataset["train"].filter(lambda x: "Tournament of Champions" in (x["notes"] or ""))
print(f"ToC clues: {len(toc)}")

# Category frequency analysis
import collections
cats = collections.Counter(dataset["train"]["category_normalized"])
print("Most common categories:", cats.most_common(10))

Data Pipeline

Ingest: Three sources — jwolle1's GitHub release (529,939 regular + 21,592 kids/teen + 7,907 special events), openaccess-ai-collective/jeopardy from HuggingFace (216,930 clues), J-Archive scrape of incomplete episodes (5,745 clues)
Reconcile: Two-pass deduplication — composite-key matching across 3 sources, then text-level dedup to catch clues with identical text but different metadata across sources. 568,068 unique clues after removing 3,246 cross-source duplicates
Episode ID Mapping: J-Archive season index pages (41 seasons, 9,124 games) mapped show numbers to 99.8% of clues
Enrich: Category frequency stats (59,238 categories), TF-IDF repeat detection, value-based difficulty estimation, regex/keyword topic tagging (17 topics)
Export: Season-based train/validation/test splits as Parquet

Known Gaps

8 episodes with <50 clues: Mostly early-season episodes (1985-1989) and special formats (IBM Watson Challenge) where some clues weren't preserved
Season 36: ~190 episodes due to COVID-19 production shutdown (March-June 2020) — not a data gap
0.2% missing episode IDs: ~1,200 clues (mainly from pre-season pilots and special events not in J-Archive's season index)
clue_order defaults to 1: For many clues where position within category was not recorded in the source data

Use Cases

Question answering: Train QA models on trivia across dozens of knowledge domains
Text classification: Predict categories, difficulty, or topics from clue text
Information retrieval: Build trivia search engines with category and difficulty filtering
NLP research: Study question phrasing patterns, category evolution over 40+ years
Educational tools: Generate quiz content across curriculum-aligned topics
Analytics: Analyze trends in categories, difficulty, repeat patterns, and tournament structure over time
Game AI: Build Jeopardy-playing agents with difficulty-aware strategy

Limitations

Clue text and answers are the intellectual property of Jeopardy Productions, Inc.
Some clues may have minor formatting differences between sources (tracked in source_conflicts)
Topic tags use rule-based classification; ~63% of clues have no topic tag beyond difficulty
Difficulty estimates are proxy-based (value tier, round) and do not reflect actual contestant performance
Daily Double identification depends on source data quality
