+ # LeetCode Problems Labelled by Solution Pattern (Sample)
25
+
26
+ A 100-problem sample of LeetCode problems annotated with the **algorithmic technique that solves
27
+ them**, rather than the topic tag that describes what they are about.
28
+
29
+ LeetCode's own tags answer "what is this problem about" — `Array`, `String`, `Hash Table`. That is
30
+ not the same question as "how is it solved". Both *Two Sum* and *Longest Substring Without Repeating
31
+ Characters* are tagged `Hash Table`, but one is a complement lookup and the other is a sliding window
32
+ with a seen-set. This dataset adds a `solution_archetype` field that answers the second question.
33
+
34
+ The full corpus this sample is drawn from covers 3,000 problems across 29 archetypes.
35
+
36
+ ## Dataset structure
37
+
38
+ One JSON object per line in `data/train.jsonl`:
39
+
40
+ | field | type | description |
41
+ | --- | --- | --- |
42
+ | `problem_number` | int | The problem's number on LeetCode |
43
+ | `title` | string | Problem title |
44
+ | `slug` | string | URL slug |
45
+ | `difficulty` | string | `Easy`, `Medium` or `Hard` |
46
+ | `topic_tags` | list[string] | LeetCode's own topic tags, unmodified |
47
+ | `solution_archetype` | string | **The annotation.** The technique that solves the problem |
48
+ | `has_reference_solution` | bool | Whether a worked reference solution exists for this problem |
49
+ | `leetcode_url` | string | Canonical problem URL on leetcode.com |
50
+ | `pattern_reference` | string \| null | Write-up of the archetype, where one exists |
51
+
52
+ ### Sample row
53
+
54
+ ```json
55
+ {
56
+ "problem_number": 1,
57
+ "title": "Two Sum",
58
+ "slug": "two-sum",
59
+ "difficulty": "Easy",
60
+ "topic_tags": ["Array", "Hash Table"],
61
+ "solution_archetype": "hash-map",
62
+ "has_reference_solution": true,
63
+ "leetcode_url": "https://leetcode.com/problems/two-sum/",
64
+ "pattern_reference": "https://www.stealthinterview.ai/leetcode/patterns/hash-map"
65
+ }
66
+ ```
67
+
68
+ ### Composition of this sample
69
+
70
+ 100 problems, stratified to cover as many archetypes as possible while keeping the difficulty mix of
71
+ the source corpus: **21 Easy / 63 Medium / 16 Hard**, spanning **29 distinct archetypes**. Selection
72
+ is deterministic — problems are taken in ascending number, round-robin across archetypes — so the
73
+ sample is reproducible rather than a random draw. Premium-only problems are excluded, because their
74
+ statements are not publicly checkable.
75
+
76
+ ## Usage
77
+
78
+ ```python
79
+ from datasets import load_dataset
80
+
81
+ ds = load_dataset("<your-username>/leetcode-solution-patterns-sample", split="train")
82
+
83
+ # Problems solved by a monotonic stack
84
+ mono = ds.filter(lambda r: r["solution_archetype"] == "monotonic-stack")
85
+
86
+ # Where LeetCode's tag and the solving technique disagree
87
+ mismatch = ds.filter(
88
+ lambda r: "Hash Table" in r["topic_tags"] and r["solution_archetype"] != "hash-map"
89
+ )
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ ## Provenance and what is actually original here
93
+
94
+ This distinction matters, so it is stated plainly:
95
+
96
+ - **Not original, and not owned by this dataset:** problem numbers, titles, slugs, difficulty ratings
97
+ and topic tags. These are factual references to problems hosted on LeetCode.
98
+ - **Original:** the `solution_archetype` labels and the taxonomy of 29 archetypes they are drawn
99
+ from. These were derived by analysing solution structure across the corpus and are the reason this
100
+ dataset exists.
101
+
102
+ **No problem statements, test cases, editorial content or LeetCode solutions are included in this
103
+ dataset.** Only metadata and links back to the canonical problem pages. If you need the problem text,
104
+ follow `leetcode_url`.
105
+
106
+ LeetCode is a trademark of its respective owner. This dataset is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or
107
+ sponsored by LeetCode.
108
+
109
+ ## Licence
110
+
111
+ The **annotations** — `solution_archetype` and the taxonomy — are released under
112
+ [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Attribution is appreciated if you use the
113
+ labels in research or a downstream dataset.
114
+
115
+ The referenced problem metadata is factual information about a third-party platform and is not
116
+ claimed under this licence.
117
+
118
+ ## Limitations
119
+
120
+ - **One archetype per problem.** Many problems admit more than one valid approach; the label records
121
+ the technique the reference solution used, not the only one that works.
122
+ - **`bespoke` is a real category, not a fallback for hard problems.** It marks problems whose
123
+ solution does not generalise to a reusable pattern.
124
+ - **The taxonomy is opinionated.** Where you draw the line between `stack` and `monotonic-stack`, or
125
+ `dfs` and `graph-traversal`, is a judgement call. The boundaries here are consistent within the
126
+ corpus but are not a standard anyone else has ratified.
127
+ - **Sample, not corpus.** 100 of 3,000. Frequencies here will not match the full distribution.
