#petpeeve: Annoying Behaviors Dataset
A #petpeeve (annoying behaviors) dataset of 3,375 tweets labeled with annoying behavior categories, collected by Wang and Yang via Twitter API (2015). Each record contains tweet text and annoying behavior category label. The dataset is notable for its dataset for automatic categorization of annoying behaviors using lexical and frame-semantic embeddings. Intended for research into social media analysis, text classification, and behavioral categorization.
