The texts are in Cyrillic script, making this dataset ideal for linguistic research, language modeling, and other NLP applications in the Tatar language. ## Dataset Details - **Language**: Tatar (Cyrillic script) - **Format**: Single Parquet file - **Columns**: - `file_name`: The original name of each book’s file - `text`: The full content of each book - **Total Size**: 75 MB - **License**: MIT ### Structure The dataset is organized so that each row in the Parquet file represents an individual Tatar book, with columns for the book’s filename (`file_name`) and its content (`text`). ## Potential Use Cases - **Language Modeling**: Train language models specifically for Tatar in Cyrillic script. - **Machine Translation**: Use the dataset for Cyrillic-to-Latin transliteration and other translation tasks. - **Linguistic Research**: Study linguistic structures, grammar, and vocabulary in Tatar. ## Examples Here’s how to load and use the dataset in Python with `pandas`: ```python import pandas as pd # Load the Parquet file df = pd.read_parquet("path/to/train-00000-of-00001.parquet", engine="pyarrow") # View the first few rows print(df.head()) ``` Example of a sample entry: | file_name | text | |------------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | Корымлы Бармак_tat.txt | Кояш Тимбикова\nКОРЫМЛЫ БАРМАК\n\nӨйләнешүебез... | ## Usage To load the dataset using Hugging Face’s `datasets` library: ```python from datasets import load_dataset dataset = load_dataset("neurotatarlar/tt-books-cyrillic") ``` ## Contributions and Acknowledgements This dataset is maintained by the Yasalma team.
