CARE Experimental Dataset Mirror

This repository provides a mirrored copy of the dataset used in our CARE paper experiments to support research reproducibility and artifact availability. The original dataset was introduced and released by the original authors in their corresponding publication/repository. All credits and ownership belong to the original dataset creators. This mirror is provided solely for academic and non-commercial research purposes because the original public link was no longer accessible at the time of upload.
