## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** [Sharif Speech and Language Processing Lab](https://huggingface.co/SLPL)
- **Paper:** [naab: A ready-to-use plug-and-play corpus for Farsi](https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.13486)

### Dataset Summary

This is the raw (uncleaned) version of the [naab](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SLPL/naab) corpus. You can use also customize our [preprocess script](https://github.com/Sharif-SLPL/t5-fa/tree/main/preprocess) and make your own cleaned corpus. This repository is a hub for all Farsi corpora. Feel free to add your corpus following the [contribution guidelines](#contribution-guideline).

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This corpus can be used for training all language models trained by Masked Language Modeling (MLM) or any other self-supervised objective.

- `language-modeling`
- `masked-language-modeling`

### Changelog

It's crucial to log changes on the projects which face changes periodically. Please refer to the [CHANGELOG.md](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SLPL/naab-raw/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for more details.

## Dataset Structure

Each row of the dataset will look like something like the below:
```json
{
  'text': "این یک تست برای نمایش یک پاراگراف در پیکره متنی ناب است.",
}
```
+ `text` : the textual paragraph.


### Data Splits

This corpus contains only a split (the `train` split).

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

Here are some details about each part of this corpus.

#### CC-fa

The Common Crawl corpus contains petabytes of data collected since 2008. It contains raw web page data, extracted metadata, and text extractions. We use the Farsi part of it here.

### Contribution Guideline

In order to add your dataset, you should follow the below steps and make a pull request in order to be merged with the _naab-raw_:

1. Add your dataset to `_CORPUS_URLS` in `naab-raw.py` like:
```python
...
    "DATASET_NAME": "LINK_TO_A_PUBLIC_DOWNLOADABLE_FILE.txt"
...
```
2. Add a log of your changes to the [CHANGELOG.md](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SLPL/naab-raw/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md).
3. Add some minor descriptions to the [Curation Rationale](#curation-rationale) under a subsection with your dataset name.


### Personal and Sensitive Information

Since this corpus is briefly a compilation of some former corpora we take no responsibility for personal information included in this corpus. If you detect any of these violations please let us know, we try our best to remove them from the corpus ASAP.

We tried our best to provide anonymity while keeping the crucial information. We shuffled some parts of the corpus so the information passing through possible conversations wouldn't be harmful.
