CryptOpiQA: A new Opinion and Question Answering dataset on Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency has attracted a lot of public

attention and opinion worldwide. Users have

different kinds of information needs regarding

such topics and publicly available information

is a good resource to satisfy those information

needs. In this paper, we investigate the public

opinion on cryptocurrency and bitcoin on two

social media – Twitter and Reddit. We have cre-

ated a multi-level dataset CryptOpiQA and gar-

nered valuable insights. The dataset contains

both gold standard (manually annotated) and

silver standard (inferred from the gold standard)

labels. As a part of this dataset, we have also

created a Question Answering sub-corpus.
