Public Datasets

• NC-CAFO <link> <supplementary materials>

  The NC-CAFO dataset includes hand-validated images of poultry and swine CAFOs and control images throughout the state of North Carolina from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP).

• fcc-comments <link> <supplementary materials>

  fcc-comments is an annotated version of the comment corpus from the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 2017 “Restoring Internet Freedom” proceeding.
