# Load the dataset using the default config
    dset = sc.load_dataset("burmese_romanize", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
    print(sc.available_config_names("burmese_romanize"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
    dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
