By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper compares two news datasets, GDELT and Common Crawl News, which are crucial for natural language processing, knowledge graphs, and large language models. The research highlights the distinct strengths and limitations of each dataset by analyzing their content and source coverage. GDELT primarily uses broadcasts, print, and web news, while Common Crawl News is collected through web crawling of news sites worldwide, revealing significant differences in their data acquisition methods.
