sentiment140 dataset doesn't contain label 2 i.e neutral sentences when uploading it from HuggingFace

Question

I want to work with the sentiment140 dataset for a sentiment analysis task, as I saw that it contains normally the following labels :

0, 4 for pos and neg sentences
2 for neutral sentences which I found when looking at the dataset on their website : https://huggingface.co/datasets/sentiment140#data-fields

But after importing it on my notebook it tells me that it contains just two labels :

0 for neg
4 for pos !!!

So how to get full dataset with the three labels ?

How did you load the dataset? – cronoik Jul 03 '22 at 14:29 — cronoik, Jul 03 '22 at 14:29

You are correct on the fact that the HuggingFace sentiment140 dataset only contains 2 labels in the training set (0 and 4); however, the test set contains the 3 labels (0, 2 and 4).

You could open a discussion here to ask the authors if this is normal.
