Dataset Card for Gutenberg_books
Dataset Summary
The Gutenberg_books dataset comprises a collection of literary works from Project Gutenberg, formatted into a CSV file for ease of use in natural language processing (NLP) tasks. This dataset is intended for applications such as text classification, language modeling, and other NLP experiments.
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
- Language Modeling: Train models to predict the next word or sequence of words in a text.
- Text Classification: Categorize texts into predefined genres or themes.
- Text Generation: Generate human-like text based on the styles present in the dataset.
Languages
The dataset primarily includes works in English.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
Each row in the CSV file represents a literary work with the following fields:
- Title: The title of the work.
- Text: The full text of the work.
Data Fields
- Title (string): The title of the literary work.
- Text (string): The complete text of the work.
Data Splits
The dataset is provided as a single CSV file without predefined splits. Users can create their own training, validation, and test splits as needed.
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
The dataset was curated to provide a diverse collection of literary works for NLP research and development, enabling tasks such as language modeling and text classification.
Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Processing
The texts were sourced from Project Gutenberg, a repository of free eBooks. Each text was processed to remove non-essential content like headers and footers, ensuring consistency across the dataset.
Who are the source data producers?
The original texts were digitized and provided by Project Gutenberg, a volunteer effort to archive cultural works.
Annotations
No additional annotations were added to this dataset.
Personal and Sensitive Information
The dataset contains public domain literary works and does not include personal or sensitive information.
Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
This dataset enables the development of language models and other NLP tools that can understand and generate human-like text, contributing to advancements in AI literacy and accessibility.
Discussion of Biases
The dataset consists of literary works primarily from Western authors, which may introduce cultural or linguistic biases. Users should be aware of this limitation when training models.
Other Known Limitations
Some texts may contain outdated language or perspectives reflective of their time of writing.
