Data Set Information:

The dataset consists of a total of 3600 documents including 600 news/texts from six categories – economy, culture-arts, health, politics, sports and technology – obtained
from six well-known news portals and agencies (Hurriyet,Posta,Iha,HaberTurk,Radikal and Zaman). Documents of TTC-3600 dataset were collected between May and July 2015 via Rich Site Summary (RSS) feeds from six categories of the respective portals. All java scripts, HTML tags ( < img> , < a > , < p > , < strong> etc.), operators, punctuations, non-printable characters and irrelevant data such as advertising are removed.

Three additional dataset versions are created on TTC-3600 by implementing different stemming methods. In all versions of datasets, first, removal-based pre-processing, which is explained in Section 3.2 in detail, is used. Then Turkish stop-words that have no discriminatory power (pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, etc.) in regard to TC are removed
from datasets except for the original one. In this study, a semi-automatically constructed stop-words list that contains 147 words is utilized.
