The ClaimBuster dataset consists of statements extracted from all U.S. general election presidential debates (1960-2016) along with human-annotated check-worthiness labels. It contains 23,533 sentences where each sentence is categorized into one of the three categories: non-factual statement, unimportant factual statement, and check-worthy factual statement.
