+# Stance Detection dataset for FNC-1
+
+For details of the task, see [FakeNewsChallenge.org](http://fakenewschallenge.org)
+
+
+The data provided is `(headline, body, stance)` instances, where `stance` is one of `{unrelated, discuss, agree, disagree}`. The dataset is provided as two CSVs:
+
+
+### `train_bodies.csv`
+
+This file contains the body text of articles (the `articleBody` column) with corresponding IDs (`Body ID`)
+
+### `train_stances.csv`
+
+This file contains the labeled stances (the `Stance` column) for pairs of article headlines (`Headline`) and article bodies (`Body ID`, referring to entries in `train_bodies.csv`).
+
+### Distribution of the data
+
+The distribution of `Stance` classes in `train_stances.csv` is as follows:
+
+|   rows |   unrelated |   discuss |     agree |   disagree |
+|-------:|------------:|----------:|----------:|-----------:|
+|  49972 |    0.73131  |  0.17828  | 0.0736012 |  0.0168094 |
