Spatiotemporal News Dataset

Overview

This dataset contains approximately 1.2 million English-language news headlines and articles sourced from major outlets in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Each entry is annotated with spatial (country of origin) and temporal (date of publication) contexts, designed for training spatiotemporal-aware sentence embeddings, specifically our Space-Time-MiniLM-v0 model. The dataset covers the period from January 2017 to December 2021 (60 months).

Dataset Details

Dataset Description

This dataset comprises approximately 1.2 million English news entries (185 million words) collected from January 2017 to December 2021 for developing unified sentence embeddings that integrate both spatial and temporal contexts. Unlike existing embedding techniques that focus on single-word embeddings or handle spatial and temporal dimensions independently, this dataset provides complete sentences with explicit spatiotemporal annotations at monthly and country-level granularity. Data was systematically collected through a multi-source approach: leveraging existing datasets from Kaggle and HuggingFace, accessing the GDELT Global Knowledge Graph for geopolitical event coverage, and conducting ethical web-scraping of major news outlets (BBC, New York Times, The Guardian) across four English-speaking countries while strictly adhering to robots.txt protocols and rate-limiting guidelines. All sentences were normalized to lowercase and filtered to 3-150 tokens, with no new vocabulary introduced to avoid semantic drift effects. The dataset uses an 80-10-10 train/validation/test split stratified by both month and country, with the training set organized into 9 batches of 120,000 samples for computational efficiency.

News Outlets:
- United Kingdom: British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)
- United States: The New York Times
- Australia: The Guardian
- Canada: The Guardian
Geographic Coverage: US, UK, Canada, Australia
Temporal Coverage: January 2017 - December 2021 (60 months)
Dataset Size: ~1.2M articles/headlines, 185M words
Text Processing: Lowercase normalization, 3-150 token filtering
Language: English

Dataset Structure

The dataset is organized into three categories:

The original source files
The data splits (train, test, validation)
The pre-computed files for sentence similarity tasks.

1) Original Source Files

The pre-processed data from the news outlets are in four separate CSV files: data_canada.csv, data_uk.csv, data_us.csv, and data_australia.csv. Each entry in these files represents a single news article from the respective country. For example:

date	article	location
2020-08	"The UK has recorded the highest number of new coronavirus cases since 12 June..."	"Australia"

Data Fields
- date (string): publication timestamp
- article (string): The pre-processed text of the news article/headline.
- location (string): Country of origin

2) Train/Validation/Test Splits

Stratified splits ensuring balanced representation across temporal and spatial dimensions (80-10-10 ratio). Each entry in a data split file represents a single news article. For example:

unamed	unnamed	date	article	location
0	810670	43	"to go into a winter with no treatment or vaccine, and the sad thing is..."	0

Data Fields
- unamed (int): A unique identifier for the data entry (the index).
- unamed: not important
- article (string): The pre-processed text of the news article/headline.
- date (int): An integer representing the month of publication, where 0 corresponds to January 2017.
- location (int): An integer label for the country of origin, mapped as follows:
  - 0: United Kingdom (UK)
  - 1: United States (US)
  - 2: Australia (AUS)
  - 3: Canada (CAN)
Split Statistics:
- Training: ~960K samples (9 batches of 120K each)
- Validation: ~120K samples
- Test: ~120K samples
- Stratification: Balanced across 60 months × 4 countries = 240 strata

3) Siamese Training Data:

Sentence pairs for contrastive learning with similarity annotations:

df_sentences (All Pairs)

Stratified pairs covering 8 similarity scenarios: {same/different sentence} × {same/different time} × {same/different space}

same_sentences (Identical Pairs)

Pairs with identical sentence content but varying spatiotemporal contexts

diff_sentences (Unique Pairs)

Pairs with different sentence content across various spatiotemporal contexts

Siamese Pair Schema:

├── unamed (int): index of the entry
├── sent1 (string): First sentence in the pair
├── sent2 (string): Second sentence in the pair  
├── t1 (int): Temporal context of sentence1 (0-59)
├── t2 (int): Temporal context of sentence2 (0-59)
├── s1 (int): Spatial context of sentence1 (0-3)
├── s2 (int): Spatial context of sentence2 (0-3)
├── time_dist (float): Temporal similarity score (0-1)
├── space_dist (float): Spatial similarity score (0-1)  
├── semantic_similarity (float): Semantic similarity score (0-1)
├── cosine_sim (float): Cosine similarity in the learned spatiotemporal embedding space (0-1)
└── similarity (float): Weighted combination (0.7×semantic + 0.15×time + 0.15×space)

Uses

Direct Use

This dataset is intended for training and evaluating spatiotemporal-aware sentence embedding models. Suitable use cases include:

Training transformer-based models with explicit spatial and temporal context awareness
Semantic similarity tasks that require geographic or temporal sensitivity
Multi-task learning scenarios combining masked language modeling, spatial classification, and temporal classification
Research on how language usage varies across time and geographic regions
Evaluation of embedding performance on semantically, spatially, and temporally sensitive tasks

Out-of-Scope Use

This dataset should not be used for:

Applications requiring fine-grained geographic precision beyond country-level
Temporal analysis requiring sub-monthly granularity
Multilingual applications (dataset is English-only)
Tasks requiring coverage of regions outside the four included countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia)
Applications sensitive to semantic drift or vocabulary evolution, as no new vocabulary was introduced during collection
