20Newsgroup (10 tasks)
This dataset has 20 classes and each class has about 1000 documents. The data split for train/validation/test is 1600/200/200. We created 10 tasks, 2 classes per task. Since this is topic-based text classification data, the classes are very different and have little shared knowledge. As mentioned above, this application (and dataset) is mainly used to show a CL model's ability to overcome forgetting. Detailed statistics please on page https://github.com/ZixuanKe/PyContinual
Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
All 1 leaderboard whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.
| First row (archive order) | Paper | Code | ||||

Papers archive 2025-07-28
6 shown of 6 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 11. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
