The plista dataset

Releasing datasets has fostered research in fields such as information retrieval and recommender systems. Datasets are typically tailored for specific scenarios. In this work, we present the plista dataset. The dataset contains a collection of news articles published on 13 news portals. Additionally, the dataset comprises user interactions with those articles. We inctroduce the dataset's main characteristics. Further, we illustrate possible applications of the dataset.
