## Overview
[HackerNoon](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HackerNoon/tech-company-news-data-dump/tree/main) curated the internet's most cited 7M+ tech company news articles and blog posts about the 3k+ most valuable tech companies in 2022 and 2023. 

To further enhance the dataset's utility, a new embedding field and vector embedding for every datapoint have been added using the OpenAI EMBEDDING_MODEL = "text-embedding-3-small", with an EMBEDDING_DIMENSION of 256. 

**Notably, this extension with vector embeddings only contains a portion of the original dataset, 1576528 data points, focusing on enriching a selected subset with advanced analytical capabilities.**

## Dataset Structure
Each record in the dataset represents a news article about technology companies and includes the following fields:

- _id: A unique identifier for the news article.
- companyName: The name of the company the news article is about.
- companyUrl: A URL to the HackerNoon company profile page for the company.
- published_at: The date and time when the news article was published.
- url: A URL to the original news article.
- title: The title of the news article.
- main_image: A URL to the main image of the news article.
- description: A brief summary of the news article's content.
- embedding: An array of numerical values representing the vector embedding for the article, generated using the OpenAI EMBEDDING_MODEL.
