| | # DatarrX MyWikisource Corpus |
| |
|
| | A high-quality, large-scale Burmese (Myanmar) language dataset extracted and refined from the official **Burmese Wikisource**. This dataset is specifically designed for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, including language modeling, spell checking, and formal text analysis. |
| |
|
| | ## Dataset Summary |
| | - **Organization:** [DatarrX](https://huggingface.co/DatarrX) |
| | - **Maintainer:** [Khant Sint Heinn(Kalix Louis)](https://huggingface.co/kalixlouiis) |
| | - **Source:** [Burmese Wikisource (my.wikisource.org)](https://my.wikisource.org/) |
| | - **Total Rows:** 1,352,972 |
| | - **Total Rows:** 1,352,972 |
| | - **Format:** ID, Categories, Title, Context |
| | - **Language:** Burmese (Myanmar) - 100% (Threshold Filtered) |
| | - **License:** MIT |
| | |
| | ## Data Origin (Source) |
| | The data is sourced directly from the **Wikimedia Foundation's Wikisource project for the Burmese language**. Wikisource is a digital library of free-content textual sources, which includes historical documents, classical literature, legal texts, and poems that have been proofread by the community. |
| |
|
| | ## Data Processing Details |
| | This dataset has undergone rigorous cleaning to ensure high utility for AI/ML applications: |
| |
|
| | 1. **Namespace Filtering:** Only core encyclopedia/document entries (NS:0) were included, removing metadata and talk pages. |
| | 2. **HTML/XML Cleaning:** All residual tags (e.g., `<p>`, `<div>`, etc.) have been removed using regex patterns. |
| | 3. **Language Threshold:** A strict 70% Burmese character threshold was applied to every row to filter out heavy English or foreign language noise. |
| | 4. **Deduplication:** Repeated contexts and duplicate entries were removed to prevent model overfitting. |
| | 5. **Sentence Refinement:** - Sentences are split based on the Burmese period (။). |
| | - Extremely short fragments (less than 10 characters) were intelligently merged with adjacent sentences to maintain contextual meaning. |
| | 6. **Noise Mitigation:** Known noise patterns like "မေး။ ။" and "ဖြေ။ ။" have been stripped out. |
| |
|
| | > **Note:** While significant efforts were made to clean the data, users might still encounter minor noise due to the nature of historical transcriptions in the source material. |
