Files

Each dataset contains node.json, label.csv, split.csv and edge.csv (for datasets with graph structure).

node.json or {tweet, user, list, hashtag}.json

This file contains twitter user information (for non-graph datasets) or entities (including users, tweets, lists and etc. See here for details).

The node information of TwiBot-22 is too big for a single file, so we use tweet_0.json to tweet_8.json, user.json, list.json, and hashtag.json to store them.

split.csv

This file contains data split information, where the first column (id) is the user id and the second column (split) is the corresponding split (train, valid or test).

label.csv

This file contains the ground truth labels, where the first column (id) is the user id and the second column (label) is the corresponding label (human or bot).

edge.csv

This file contains relations of entities appear in node.json. Each of the entries contains source_id, target_id and relation type. See here for a detailed description for each relation type.
