# Dataset Card for the Astro-HEP-Planck Corpus

**Astro-HEP-Planck Corpus** contains 1,494 paragraphs from arXiv papers relating to astrophysics or high energy physics together with word-sense labels for 2,932 occurrences of "Planck".

This table details the main columns of the dataset:

|Column|Description|
|:----------:|:-:|
|*text*|Full text of the paragraph|
|*length*|Number of unicode characters in the paragraph|
|*arxiv_id*|The arXiv identifier of the paper from which the paragraph was taken|
|*text_id*|ID of the text/paragraph|
|*year*|Year of publication of the arXiv paper|
|*month*|Month of publication of the arXiv paper|
|*day*|Day of publication of the arXiv paper|
|*astro*|Whether or not the paper relates to astrophysics|
|*hep*|Whether or not the paper relates to high energy physics|
|*num_planck_labels*|Number of labeled occurrences of "Planck" in the paragraph|
|*planck_labels*|List of word-sense labels for the occurrences of "Planck" in the paragraph|

The primary purpose of the Wikipedia-Physics Corpus lies in its use for analyzing the meaning of concepts in physics. For further insights into the corpus and the underlying research project (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://doi.org/10.3030/101044932" >Network Epistemology in Practice</a>) please refer to this paper:

- <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.14073">Simons, A. (2024). Meaning at the planck scale? Contextualized word embeddings for doing history, philosophy, and sociology of science. arXiv:2411.14073.</a>


## Construction

The paragraphs were randomly sampled from the subset of paragraphs in the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://huggingface.co/datasets/arnosimons/astro-hep-corpus">Astro-HEP Corpus</a> containing the term "Planck".

Occurrences of "Planck" were identified using a case-insensitive regular expression to capture variations like "PLANCK" and "Planck(2015)"" while excluding forms like "planckian". The labels denote distinct meanings of the target term, such as PERSON, CONSTANT, UNITS, LAW, MPS, MISSION, and FOKKER.
