# GitHub Issues Dataset Card **Author / Maintainer:** @xanderIV **Point of Contact:** @xanderIV --- ## Dataset Description ### Dataset Summary GitHub Issues is a dataset consisting of GitHub issues and pull requests associated with the 🤗 Datasets repository: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets This dataset is curated and documented by **@xanderIV** for educational and research purposes. It can be used for: - Semantic search - Multilabel text classification - Automated issue triaging - Topic modeling - LLM fine-tuning - Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) experiments The dataset contains English-language technical discussions related to NLP, computer vision, speech, multimodal ML systems, and ML infrastructure. This dataset is particularly relevant for: - Developer assistant systems - LLM-powered support automation - DevOps / MLOps / LLMOps workflows - Research in applied ML systems --- ## Supported Tasks and Leaderboards ### 1. Text Classification (`text-classification`) The dataset can be used for **multilabel text classification**, where a model predicts one or more labels (e.g., `bug`, `enhancement`, `documentation`) for each issue. **Typical metrics:** - F1 score - Accuracy - Precision - Recall **Suggested models:** - `distilbert-base-uncased` - `roberta-base` - `microsoft/deberta-v3-base` --- ### 2. Information Retrieval (`information-retrieval`) The dataset can be used for **semantic search**, where the task is to retrieve the most relevant GitHub issue given a user query. **Typical metrics:** - MRR (Mean Reciprocal Rank) - Recall@k **Suggested models:** - `sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` - `BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5` - `intfloat/e5-base` --- ### 3. Issue Triaging (`other:issue-triaging`) The dataset can be used for automated issue routing and classification. The task consists of: - Predicting labels - Suggesting maintainers - Routing issues to appropriate teams **Metrics:** - Classification accuracy - Routing precision --- ### 4. LLM Fine-Tuning (`other:llm-finetuning`) The dataset can be used to fine-tune large language models for: - Developer assistants - Issue summarization - Pull request review generation - Support automation **Suggested models:** - `meta-llama/Llama-3-8B-Instruct` - `mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2` - `Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct` --- ## Languages - Primary language: English (`en`, BCP-47) Text characteristics: - Technical discussions - Developer communication - Bug reports - Code snippets (Python, YAML, JSON, etc.) - Configuration files Language style: semi-formal, domain-specific (software engineering / ML infrastructure). --- ## Dataset Structure ### Data Instances Example instance: ```json { "issue_id": 12345, "title": "Dataset loading fails with streaming=True", "body": "When trying to load the dataset with streaming enabled...", "labels": ["bug", "datasets"], "author": "username", "created_at": "2023-06-10T14:32:00Z", "comments": [ { "author": "maintainer", "text": "Can you provide the stack trace?" } ] }
