## Additional Information
This dataset is annotated across three different tasks: Stance Detection, Temporal Classification, and Uncertainty Estimation. The tasks have four, two, and two unique labels, respectively. This dataset contains 1,000 sentences taken from the meeting minutes of the Swiss National Bank. 

### Label Interpretation

#### Stance Detection
- **Hawkish:** The sentence supports contractionary monetary policy.
- **Dovish:** The sentence supports expansionary monetary policy.
- **Neutral:** The sentence contains neither hawkish or dovish sentiment, or both hawkish and dovish sentiment.
- **Irrelevant:** The sentence is not related to monetary policy.

#### Temporal Classification
- **Forward-looking:** The sentence discusses future economic events or decisions.
- **Not Forward-looking:** The sentence discusses past or current economic events or decisions.

#### Uncertainty Estimation
- **Certain:** Indicates that the sentence presents information definitively.
- **Uncertain:** Indicates that the sentence presents information with speculation, possibility, or doubt.
