Trade News Event-Level Deduplication Dataset
Dataset Summary
This dataset is designed for event-level duplicate detection in trade and foreign economic news.
Each instance consists of a pair of English summaries labeled according to whether they describe the same underlying trade event (case).
The dataset follows a Gold/Silver protocol:
- train (SilverSet) — weakly labeled data used for training
- test (GoldSet) — manually validated data used exclusively for evaluation
The task goes beyond surface similarity and focuses on event identity, requiring consistency across attributes such as:
- countries and actors
- trade objects (commodities)
- numerical indicators
- time references
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
Each row contains:
pair_id: unique identifierdocument_id_1,document_id_2: document identifierssummary_1,summary_2: English summarieslabel_5way: one ofD,U,R,N,Obinary_label:1— duplicate0— non-duplicate
difficulty_tag:Easy,Hard_negative, orNAconfidence_score: (SilverSet only)justification: optional explanationsplit:trainortest
Label Semantics
The final task is binary classification:
- Duplicate (D) →
1 - Non-duplicate (U, R, N, O) →
0
Additionally, a diagnostic labeling scheme is provided:
D— duplicateU— update of the same topic but not the same eventR— related eventN— not relatedO— other
These labels are used for error analysis, not for multi-class training.
Dataset Creation
The dataset is constructed from a large collection of trade and foreign economic news articles.
Pipeline:
- Articles are summarized using a domain-adapted abstractive summarization model based on mBART50 (lyutovad/mbart50-tradenewssum), designed to preserve key trade-related attributes.
- All summaries are translated into English using an automatic machine translation model to ensure a unified semantic space.
- Candidate pairs are generated using hierarchical clustering of summary embeddings under a temporal constraint: only documents within a ±7 day window are considered.
- Clustering is used solely for candidate generation and does not affect evaluation.
- Initial labels are assigned using an LLM-based annotation pipeline, comparing key trade attributes such as countries, commodities, numerical indicators, and time references.
- All candidate pairs are subsequently manually validated to construct the GoldSet.
- The SilverSet is used exclusively for training, while the GoldSet is reserved for evaluation.
Dataset Statistics
GoldSet (test)
- 1,469 pairs
- 41.7% duplicates
