# Wikipedia Diverse Specialties in Chemistry and Engineering Classification

This dataset is derived from the English Wikipedia articles and is designed for multi-class text classification tasks. The dataset encompasses a variety of specialties within the fields of chemistry and engineering, divided into five distinct classes based on professional focus:

- **Geochemists:** This class includes articles that focus on geochemists, who study the chemical composition of the Earth and other planets. Topics may include the analysis of minerals, rocks, soil, and water, as well as the chemical processes and cycles that shape the Earth's crust and environment.

- **Biochemists:** This class comprises articles related to biochemists, who investigate the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. Topics may cover enzyme function, metabolic pathways, genetic coding, and the molecular basis of diseases and biological functions.

- **Materials Scientists and Engineers:** This class includes articles that focus on materials scientists and engineers, who study and develop new materials with specific properties and applications. Topics may include the synthesis, characterization, and application of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites in various industries.

- **Atmospheric Chemists:** This class comprises articles related to atmospheric chemists, who study the chemical composition and processes of the Earth's atmosphere. Topics may include air pollution, climate change, the ozone layer, and the interactions between the atmosphere and other environmental systems.

- **Electrochemists:** This class includes articles that focus on electrochemists, who study the chemical changes that produce electrical effects and the interconversion of chemical and electrical energy. Topics may include batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis, and the applications of electrochemical processes in various technologies.
