Use with Node.js

If you want to programatically use the datasets' data and metadata, install the Node.js wrapper code:

npm install

Then you can access the datasets like this:

import { mc30, rg65 } from "punuy-datasets";

for (const part of mc30.partitions) {
  console.log(part.id, part.data.length); // print partition id and size
}

Other uses

If you want to use another language or just want to access the data files directly, each dataset has its own folder inside profiles/.

Each dataset has a dataset.json file with its metadata and information about its partitions. Then, for each partition with id p_id, there is a p_id.part.json file containing the pairs and their ratings.

Adding a new dataset

If you can create the dataset profile yourself, PRs are welcome! You can find the dataset schema (in Typescript) here.

Or you can open an issue. Please include:

1. a link to the dataset homepage (if it exists),
2. a link to download the dataset, and
3. a link to the paper describing it.

I'll get to it as soon as I have some free time ;)

Types and schema

TypeScript definitions can be found at src/lib/types.ts.

Automatically generated JSON schema definitions can be found at dataset-schema.json and partition-data-schema.json.

Automatically generated documentation can be found at docs/.

Datasets copyright and licenses

Did you find a problem with the licensing of a dataset? We did our best to find and include the licenses to all the datasets and to respect copyrights, but we might have missed something!

Please open an issue and we'll fix it ASAP.
