# πŸ§ πŸ“š ArXiv Research Papers Metadata – Finance (q-fin) & Computer Science (cs)
This repository provides two extensive and high-quality metadata datasets from [arXiv.org](https://arxiv.org), covering research papers in:
- πŸ’Έ **Quantitative Finance (q-fin)**
- πŸ’» **Computer Science (cs)** (all subcategories)
Each dataset includes structured metadata fields and **direct PDF download links** for every paper. Together, these datasets serve as valuable resources for machine learning research, NLP model training, academic search, and more.
---
## πŸ“¦ Datasets Included
### 1. 🏦 Quantitative Finance (`q-fin`)
- πŸ“ˆ ~Thousands of finance-related papers
- βœ… Focused on high-quality papers in areas like:
- Financial modeling
- Market analysis
- Algorithmic trading
- Risk management
- 🎯 Great for domain-specific LLMs, finance QA, or economic text mining
### 2. πŸ’Ύ Computer Science (`cs`)
- πŸ“Š Includes **500,000+** papers across **all CS subfields**
- Covers:
- Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
- Machine Learning (cs.LG)
- Natural Language Processing (cs.CL)
- Computer Vision (cs.CV)
- Software Engineering, Theory, Networks, and more
- βš™οΈ Ideal for LLM pretraining, summarization, or scientific search tools
---
## πŸ“‘ Features
- Direct PDF links to full papers (`pdf_link`)
- Rich metadata:
- `title`, `authors`, `abstract`
- `categories`, `submission date`, `arXiv ID`
- Optional: `is_scraped` flag for tracking downloads
---
## 🧠 Use Cases
- Pretrain or fine-tune LLMs on domain-specific scientific texts
- Build citation tools or academic paper search engines
- Create offline datasets of research papers
- Academic summarization, QA, paper classification, and recommendation systems
