# Reddit Finance Comments for S&P 500 Companies |
|
|
|
|
|
### Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset contains **Reddit comments** collected from posts discussing S&P 500 companies, with a focus on high-quality and relevant finance conversations. |
|
|
Each comment is linked to its original post, and detailed metadata for both comments and posts is included. |
|
|
|
|
|
**Original posts** are sourced from the [emilpartow/reddit_finance_posts_sp500](https://huggingface.co/datasets/emilpartow/reddit_finance_posts_sp500) dataset. |
|
|

### Cleaning and Filtering |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Duplicates:** All duplicate comments (based on `comment_id`) have been removed. |
|
|
- **Missing Values:** Comments with missing critical fields (`comment`, `comment_author`, `post_id`, `company`) were removed. |
|
|
- **Minimum Length:** Only comments with more than 30 characters are included. |
|
|
- **Company Matching:** |
|
|
Only comments where the specified S&P 500 company name appears as a standalone word within the comment, post title, or post text are included. |
|
|
This ensures true relevance to the company and minimizes false positives from company names that may appear as substrings in unrelated contexts. |
