142
- ## Dataset Creation
143
 
144
- ### Curation Rationale
145
 
 
146
 
147
- SEC EDGAR is a public available service from which one can query and access corporate filings. This collection of one specific exhibit files enables researchers to learn and model from contracts and agreements directly.
148
 
 
149
 
150
- ### Source Data
151
 
152
- https://www.sec.gov/
153
 
154
- #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
155
 
 
156
 
157
- The data is collected by year from all filings that are 10-K, 8-K, or 10-Q. Each exhibit is individually downloaded with all metadata information for maximum completeness.
158
 
 
159
 
160
- #### Who are the source language producers?
161
 
162
- The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires public companies, certain company insiders, and broker-dealers to file periodic financial statements and other disclosures. Finance professionals and investors rely on SEC filings to make informed decisions when evaluating whether to invest in a company. SEC filings can be accessed for free at EDGAR, the commission's online database.
 
 
163
 
164
  ### Personal and Sensitive Information
165
 
166
- It might contain PII information (names, emails, job titles, companies) that are already public.
 
 
 
 
167
 
168
- ## Considerations for Using the Data
169
 
170
- ### Social Impact of Dataset
171
 
172
- This dataset could enable a better legal and finance language modeling capability.
173
 
174
- ### Discussion of Biases
175
 
176
- Considering the source and language, it might produce overly US-centric legalese.

102
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Dataset Summary</span>
 
 
 
 
103
 
104
+ Picture this: <span style="color: #e07a5f">**930,120 material contracts**</span> (Exhibit 10) painstakingly collected from sec.gov's EDGAR database. We're talking about legal agreements spanning from <span style="color: #81b29a">**1994 to January 2024**</span>, sourced from 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filings. Think of Exhibit 10 as the treasure trove where companies hide their most important legal paperwork – employment agreements, merger documents, licensing deals, and all those contracts that make corporate lawyers reach for their third espresso.
105
 
106
+ This isn't just another dataset it's <span style="color: #81b29a">**three decades of corporate America's legal DNA**</span>, ready for your next language model to digest.
107
 
108
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Supported Tasks and Leaderboards</span>
109
 
110
+ - <span style="color: #2c2c2c; background-color: #f4f3ee; padding: 2px 4px; border-radius: 3px;">`language-modeling`</span> or <span style="color: #2c2c2c; background-color: #f4f3ee; padding: 2px 4px; border-radius: 3px;">`text-generation`</span>: Perfect for building domain-specific models that understand the intricate dance of legal and financial language.

111
 
112
+ Currently, there's no leaderboard for this dataset, but hey, that's an <span style="color: #e07a5f">**opportunity**</span> waiting for someone with enough coffee and determination!
113
 
114
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Languages</span>
115
 
116
+ Primarily <span style="color: #81b29a">**US English**</span>, though you might encounter the occasional foreign phrase when companies get international. It's like <span style="color: #81b29a">*linguistic archaeology*</span> – you never know what you'll dig up.

119
 
120
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Data Instances</span>
121
 
122
+ Check out the data viewer for examples – trust me, it's more interesting than it sounds. Each instance is like a <span style="color: #81b29a">*little corporate story*</span> waiting to be told.
123
 
124
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Data Fields</span>
125
+
126
+ Here's what each record contains <span style="color: #81b29a">*(because data dictionaries are love letters to future developers)*</span>:
127
 
128
  | Field | Description |
129
  |---|---|
130
+ | `index_html_url` | Filing index page *(your breadcrumb trail back to the source)* |
131
+ | `index_text_url` | Filing index text page *(for when HTML isn't your thing)* |
132
+ | `cik` | Central Index Key from EDGAR *(think of it as a company's social security number)* |
133
+ | `name` | Company name *(who's responsible for this legal masterpiece)* |
134
+ | `type` | Filing type *(10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K – the holy trinity of SEC filings)* |
135
+ | `date` | Filing date *(when this document saw the light of day)* |
136
+ | `seq` | Sequence number in the filing *(because order matters)* |
137
+ | `desc` | Description provided from the filing *(sometimes helpful, sometimes cryptic)* |
138
+ | `doc_type` | Document type (e.g. EX-10) *(the exhibit classification)* |
139
+ | `size` | Document size *(bigger isn't always better, but it usually means more billable hours)* |
140
+ | `filename` | Document name *(often more creative than you'd expect)* |
141
+ | `file_url` | Document page URL *(your direct line to the source)* |
142
+ | `file` | GCS file URI *(private, like a good secret)* |
143
+ | `__index_level_0__` | Please ignore *(the artifact of data wrangling we all pretend doesn't exist)* |
144
+ | `file_content` | Text content (HTML) or base64 string for binary content (PDF) *(the good stuff)* |
145
+
146
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Data Splits</span>
147
+
148
+ There's no split by design – everything lives under <span style="color: #2c2c2c; background-color: #f4f3ee; padding: 2px 4px; border-radius: 3px;">`train`</span> because sometimes life is simpler that way. Feel free to create your own splits based on your specific needs <span style="color: #81b29a">*(and caffeine levels)*</span>.

151
 
152
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Curation Rationale</span>
153
 
154
+ Why spend <span style="color: #e07a5f">**sleepless nights**</span> building this dataset? Because SEC EDGAR is a <span style="color: #81b29a">**goldmine**</span> of publicly available corporate intelligence, and someone had to do the heavy lifting of making it ML-ready. This collection of exhibit files gives researchers direct access to the contracts and agreements that drive corporate decision-making – no more parsing through entire filings to find the good stuff.
155
 
156
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Source Data</span>
157
 
158
+ https://www.sec.gov/ *<span style="color: #81b29a">(the government's gift to data scientists everywhere)</span>*
159
 
160
+ #### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Initial Data Collection and Normalization</span>
161
 
162
+ The data collection process was like archaeological excavation, but with more <span style="color: #81b29a">**Python**</span> and less dirt. We crawled through years of filings (10-K, 8-K, and 10-Q), extracting each exhibit individually with complete metadata. It's the kind of methodical, detail-oriented work that requires <span style="color: #e07a5f">multiple monitors</span> and a steady supply of debugging fuel.
163
 
164
+ Each document was downloaded with <span style="color: #81b29a">*surgical precision*</span>, preserving all metadata for maximum research utility. Think of it as digital preservation, but for corporate paperwork.
165
 
166
+ #### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Who are the source language producers?</span>
167
 
168
+ The unsung heroes behind this dataset are the army of <span style="color: #81b29a">**finance professionals, lawyers, and corporate executives**</span> who craft these documents. The SEC requires public companies, insiders, and broker-dealers to file these periodic statements, creating a continuous stream of corporate communication that investors and researchers rely on for informed decision-making.
169
 
170
+ These documents represent the <span style="color: #81b29a">*collective voice of corporate America*</span> – sometimes eloquent, sometimes bureaucratic, always fascinating from a linguistic perspective.
171
 
172
+ ### Annotations
173
 
174
+ #### Annotation process
175
 
176
+ No additional annotations were added – we kept it pure and unadulterated, just the way the SEC intended.
177
 
178
+ #### Who are the annotators?
179
+
180
+ The original authors and their legal teams. Every comma placement was probably billable.
181
 
182
  ### Personal and Sensitive Information
183
 
184
+ Fair warning: this dataset might contain PII (names, emails, job titles, companies) that's already in the public domain. It comes with the territory when dealing with public filings – executives' names and contact information are part of the transparency requirements.
185
+
186
+ ## <span style="color: #e07a5f">Considerations for Using the Data</span>
187
+
188
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Social Impact of Dataset</span>
189
 
190
+ This dataset could be the catalyst for <span style="color: #81b29a">**better legal and finance language modeling capabilities**</span>. Imagine AI systems that can parse complex contracts, identify key terms, or help democratize access to legal understanding. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility – <span style="color: #e07a5f">*use it wisely*</span>.
191
 
192
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Discussion of Biases</span>
193
 
194
+ Given the source and language, this dataset has a distinctly <span style="color: #81b29a">**US-centric flavor**</span> with a heavy dose of corporate legalese. It reflects the linguistic patterns and legal frameworks of American business culture, which might not translate well to other jurisdictions or informal contexts. Your model might end up sounding like it went to law school <span style="color: #81b29a">*(and accumulated the corresponding debt)*</span>.
195
 
196
+ ### <span style="color: #e07a5f">Other Known Limitations</span>
197
 
198
+ Like any dataset scraped from the wild, this one has its quirks. PDF-to-text conversion isn't perfect, OCR sometimes gets <span style="color: #81b29a">*creative*</span>, and legal documents have their own special way of torturing the English language. Approach with realistic expectations and a <span style="color: #e07a5f">**good debugger**</span>.
