BABE Dataset (2022)

Bias Annotations By Experts (Media Bias Group)

4.12k records | 2023 | Media Bias Group

Human annotated, and all annotators must agree. In its paper, BABE showed great results with BERT for sequence classification of news articles. While smaller than some other datasets, the annotations are very reliable (highly recommended as an external dataset for model eval).
