# Chinese Documents Dataset (PDF)
*This dataset consists of a curated collection of Chinese-language documents in PDF format. It includes textbooks, research papers, articles, public-domain books, and official documents written in Simplified and Traditional Chinese. The dataset supports AI research in OCR, document understanding, and multilingual text extraction.*

## Supported Tasks

- **Task Categories**:  
  - Document Classification  
  - OCR and Text Recognition  
  - Layout and Structure Analysis  
  - Language Modeling for Chinese  

- **Supported Tasks**:  
  - Extraction of Chinese text from PDF documents  
  - Classification by topic (academic, legal, educational, literary)  
  - OCR for Simplified and Traditional Chinese scripts  
  - Benchmarking AI models for Chinese-language document parsing  

## Languages

- **Primary Language**: Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)  
- **Secondary Presence**: English, numbers, and technical symbols (common in bilingual or academic PDFs)  

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale
The dataset was curated to accelerate the development of AI models that can process, recognize, and understand Chinese-language PDFs with complex layouts and mixed scripts.

### Source Data
- **Contributors**: Open-access Chinese digital libraries, educational institutions, and volunteer data contributors.  
- **Collection Process**: All PDFs were collected from legally available, open-licensed repositories and public-domain sources.  

### Other Known Limitations
- **Bias**: Overrepresentation of educational and academic documents; fewer informal or handwritten materials  
- **Format Variation**: Some PDFs contain scanned pages with varying print clarity  
- **Script Variation**: Includes both Simplified (Mainland China) and Traditional (Taiwan, Hong Kong) content  

## Intended Uses

### ✅ Direct Use
- Training OCR models for Simplified and Traditional Chinese  
- Research on multilingual document understanding  
- Digitization of Chinese educational and archival materials  

### ❌ Out-of-Scope Use
- Identifying individuals from document data  
- Commercial reuse of copyrighted materials  
- Use in surveillance or profiling applications
