This is an Adult database. The prediction task is to determine whether a person makes over 50K a year. Data extraction was done by Barry Becker from the 1994 Census database. Variables are all self-explanatory except __fnlwgt__. This is a proxy for the people's demographic background: 'People with similar demographic characteristics should have similar weights.' This similarity-statement is not relevant in all the different 51 states.

This is an Amazon_employee_access database. The data consists of real historical data collected from 2010 & 2011. Employees are manually allowed or denied access to resources over time. The data is used to create an algorithm capable of learning from this historical data to predict approval/denial for employees' unseen set. There is a considerable amount of data regarding an employee’s role within an organization and the resources to which they have access. Given the data related to current employees and their provisioned access, models can be built that automatically determine access privileges as employees enter and leave roles within a company. These auto-access models seek to minimize the human involvement required to grant or revoke employee access.

This is the Phishing Websites Data. There's plenty of articles about predicting phishing websites have been disseminated these days; no reliable training dataset has been published publically, maybe because there is no agreement in the literature on the definitive features that characterize phishing webpages. Hence it is difficult to shape a dataset that covers all possible features. In this dataset, the authors shed light on the important features that have proved to be sound and effective in predicting phishing websites.

This is an amazon-commerce-reviews. Datasets are derived from the customer's reviews on Amazon Commerce Website for authorship identification. Most previous studies conducted identification experiments for two to ten authors. But in the online context, reviews to be identified usually have more potential authors, and normally classification algorithms are not adapted to a large number of target classes. To examine the robustness of classification algorithms, the authors of this database identify 50 of the most active users (represented by a unique ID and username) who frequently posted reviews in these newsgroups. The number of reviews we collected for each user is 30.

This is a cnae-9 database. It is a data set containing 1080 documents of free text business descriptions of Brazilian companies categorized into a subset of 9 categories. The original texts were preprocessed to obtain the current data set: initially, it was kept only letters, and then was removed prepositions of the texts. Next, the words were transformed into their canonical form. Finally, each document was represented as a vector, where the weight of each word is its frequency in the document. This data set is highly sparse.
