## <u>Dataset Summary</u>

This dataset contains **1,461 Steam reviews** from **10 of the most reviewed games**. Each game has about the same amount of reviews. Each review is annotated with a **binary label** indicating whether the review is **constructive** or not. The dataset is designed to support tasks related to **text classification**, particularly **constructiveness detection** tasks in the gaming domain.
<br>

Also available as additional data, are **train/dev/test split** csv's. These contain the features of the base dataset, concatenated into strings, next to the binary constructiveness labels. These csv's were used to train the [albert-v2-steam-review-constructiveness-classifier](https://huggingface.co/abullard1/albert-v2-steam-review-constructiveness-classifier) model.
<br>

The dataset is particularly useful for training models like **BERT**, and its' derivatives or any other NLP models aimed at classifying text for constructiveness.

## <u>Dataset Structure</u>

The dataset contains the following columns:

- **id**: A unique identifier for each review.
- **game**: The name of the game being reviewed.
- **review**: The text of the Steam review.
- **author_playtime_at_review**: The number of hours the author had played the game at the time of writing the review.
- **voted_up**: Whether the user marked the review/the game as positive (True) or negative (False).
- **votes_up**: The number of upvotes the review received from other users.
- **votes_funny**: The number of "funny" votes the review received from other users.
- **constructive**: A binary label indicating whether the review was constructive (1) or not (0).

### Labeling Criteria

- **Constructive (1)**: Reviews that provide helpful feedback, suggestions for improvement, constructive criticism, or detailed insights into the game.
- **Non-constructive (0)**: Reviews that do not offer useful feedback, do not offer substance, are vague, off-topic, irrelevant, or trolling.

Of course, constructiveness is subjective, when testing the dataset on a finetuned ROBERTA model though, we managed to reach **~80% accuracy** in predicting constructiveness labels on unseen data.

### Notes
Please note, that the **dataset is unbalanced**. **63.04%** of the reviews were labeled as being non-constructive while **36.96%** were labeled as being constructive. Please take this into account when utilizing the dataset.
