# Dataset Card for Low-Resource-Language-Dataset
|
6 |
+
|
7 |
+
This dataset is designed to aid Natural Language Processing (NLP) research on low-resource languages, particularly Urdu. It includes structured datasets and preprocessing tools curated from the BBC Urdu website.
|
8 |
+
|
9 |
+
## Dataset Details
|
10 |
+
|
11 |
+
### Dataset Description
|
12 |
+
|
13 |
+
This dataset contains articles, summaries, and topics scraped from [BBC Urdu](https://www.bbc.com/urdu). It is structured into training and testing datasets for machine learning applications. The data is preprocessed and tokenized to support text summarization and other NLP tasks.
|
14 |
+
|
15 |
+
- **Curated by:** Subayyal Sheikh and contributors.
|
16 |
+
- **Language(s):** Urdu.
|
17 |
+
- **License:** Apache 2.0 License.
|
18 |
+
|
19 |
+
### Dataset Sources
|
20 |
+
|
21 |
+
- **Repository:** [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/subayyal802/Low-Resource-Language-Dataset)
|
22 |
+
- **Paper:** *Breaking Language Barriers: Dataset Development for Low Resource Language*
|
23 |
+
- **Demo:** None (optional if available)
|
24 |
+
|
25 |
+
## Uses
|
26 |
+
|
27 |
+
### Direct Use
|
28 |
+
|
29 |
+
The dataset is ideal for:
|
30 |
+
- Text summarization
|
31 |
+
- Language modeling
|
32 |
+
- Topic classification
|
33 |
+
|
34 |
+
### Out-of-Scope Use
|
35 |
+
|
36 |
+
This dataset may not be suitable for tasks outside of Urdu language processing. Users are advised against malicious or inappropriate use of the data.
|
37 |
+
|
38 |
+
## Dataset Structure
|
39 |
+
|
40 |
+
The dataset is structured as follows:
|
41 |
+
- **JSONL Files**:
|
42 |
+
- `Articles`, `Topics`, and `Summaries` (raw and processed).
|
43 |
+
- Training and test splits (`Articles-train`, `Articles-test`, etc.).
|
44 |
+
- Preprocessed articles (`BBCArticle512`, `BBCArticle512J`, etc.).
|
45 |
+
- **Text Files**:
|
46 |
+
- Token lengths (`Length-Article-512`, `Length-Summary-512`, etc.).
|
47 |
+
- Logs and ratio calculations (`Log`, `Ratios-512`, `TestRatio-512`).
|
48 |
+
|
49 |
+
## Dataset Creation
|
50 |
+
|
51 |
+
### Curation Rationale
|
52 |
+
|
53 |
+
The dataset was created to address the lack of resources for NLP research in the Urdu language. It facilitates diverse NLP applications.
|
54 |
+
|
55 |
+
### Source Data
|
56 |
+
|
57 |
+
#### Data Collection and Processing
|
58 |
+
|
59 |
+
Data was collected using scraping scripts and processed to normalize and tokenize text into usable formats.
|
60 |
+
|
61 |
+
#### Who are the source data producers?
|
62 |
+
|
63 |
+
The source data is curated from publicly available articles on [BBC Urdu](https://www.bbc.com/urdu).
|
64 |
+
|
65 |
+
### Annotations
|
66 |
+
|
67 |
+
The dataset does not include human annotations; all content is machine-extracted and processed.
|
68 |
+
|
69 |
+
#### Personal and Sensitive Information
|
70 |
+
|
71 |
+
The dataset contains publicly available data and does not include personal or sensitive information.
|
72 |
+
|
73 |
+
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
|
74 |
+
|
75 |
+
- The dataset may contain biases inherent in its source, such as topic selection by the BBC Urdu editorial team.
|
76 |
+
- Summaries and topics may not align perfectly with the user's context.
|
77 |
+
|
78 |
+
### Recommendations
|
79 |
+
|
80 |
+
Users should consider dataset limitations and apply domain knowledge when using the data for specific tasks.
