Dataset Summary

Articles retrieved from the Spanish WikiHow website on September 2023.

Each article contains a tutorial about a specific topic. The format is always a "How to" question followed by a detailed step-by-step explanation. In some cases, the response includes several methods.

The main idea is to use this data for instruction tuning of Spanish LLMs, but given its nature it could also be used for other tasks such as text classification or summarization.

Languages

Spanish (ES)

Usage

To load the full dataset:

from datasets import load_dataset

all_articles = load_dataset("mapama247/wikihow_es", trust_remote_code=True)
print(all_articles.num_rows) # output: {'train': 7380}

To load only examples from a specific category:

from datasets import load_dataset

sports_articles = load_dataset("mapama247/wikihow_es", "deportes")
print(sports_articles.num_rows) # output: {'train': 201}
