Curlie Enhanced with LLM Annotations: Two Datasets for Advancing Homepage2Vec's Multilingual Website Classification

Advancing Homepage2Vec with LLM-Generated Datasets for Multilingual Website Classification

This dataset contains two subsets of labeled website data, specifically created to enhance the performance of Homepage2Vec, a multi-label model for website classification. The datasets were generated using Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide more accurate and diverse topic annotations for websites, addressing a limitation of existing Homepage2Vec training data.

Key Features:

LLM-generated annotations: Both datasets feature website topic labels generated using LLMs, a novel approach to creating high-quality training data for website classification models.

Improved multi-label classification: Fine-tuning Homepage2Vec with these datasets has been shown to improve its macro F1 score from 38% to 43% evaluated on a human-labeled dataset, demonstrating their effectiveness in capturing a broader range of website topics.

Multilingual applicability: The datasets facilitate classification of websites in multiple languages, reflecting the inherent multilingual nature of Homepage2Vec.

Dataset Composition:

curlie-gpt3.5-10k: 10,000 websites labeled using GPT-3.5, context 2 and 1-shot

curlie-gpt4-10k: 10,000 websites labeled using GPT-4, context 2 and zero-shot

Intended Use:

Fine-tuning and advancing Homepage2Vec or similar website classification models

Research on LLM-generated datasets for text classification tasks

Exploration of multilingual website classification
