LIAR is a publicly available dataset for fake news detection. A decade-long of 12.8K manually labeled short statements were collected in various contexts from POLITIFACT.COM, which provides detailed analysis report and links to source documents for each case. This dataset can be used for fact-checking research as well. Notably, this new dataset is an order of magnitude larger than previously largest public fake news datasets of similar type. The LIAR dataset4 includes 12.8K human labeled short statements from POLITIFACT.COM’s API, and each statement is evaluated by a POLITIFACT.COM editor for its truthfulness.

This dataset of medical misinformation was collected and is published by Kempelen Institute of Intelligent Technologies (KInIT). It consists of approx. 317k news articles and blog posts on medical topics published between January 1, 1998 and February 1, 2022 from a total of 207 reliable and unreliable sources.

Besides the articles, the dataset contains around 3.5k fact-checks and extracted verified medical claims with their unified veracity ratings published by fact-checking organisations such as Snopes or FullFact. Lastly and most importantly, the dataset contains 573 manually and more than 51k automatically labelled mappings between previously verified claims and the articles; mappings consist of two values: claim presence (i.e., whether a claim is conta

StEduCov, a dataset annotated for stances toward online education during the COVID-19 pandemic. StEduCov has 17,097 tweets gathered over 15 months, from March 2020 to May 2021, using Twitter API. The tweets are manually annotated into agree, disagree or neutral classes. We used a set of relevant hashtags and keywords. Specifically, we utilised a combination of hashtags, such as '#COVID 19' or '#Coronavirus' with keywords, such as 'education', 'online learning', 'distance learning' and 'remote learning'. To ensure high annotation quality, three different annotators annotated each tweet and at least one of the reviewers from three judges revised it. They were guided by some instructions, such as that in the case of disagree class, there should be a clear negative statement about online education or its impact. Also, if the tweet is negative but refers to other people (e.g. 'my children hate online learning').
