# Collection Tononkalo Malagasy
|
| 11 |
+
|
| 12 |
+
## Dataset Description
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
This dataset is a collection of Malagasy poems (*Tononkalo*) scraped from [Vetso Serasera](https://vetso.serasera.org/vetso). It focuses on creative writing, rhymes, and artistic expression in the Malagasy language.
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
**Important Note:** This dataset has been rigorously filtered.
|
| 17 |
+
1. **Language Filtering:** Poems written primarily in French or English have been removed to ensure a high-quality Malagasy corpus.
|
| 18 |
+
2. **Cleaning:** Metadata, dates, author signatures inside the text, and website headers/footers have been stripped to leave only the raw poetic content.
|
| 19 |
+
|
| 20 |
+
- **Curated by:** Lo-Renz-O
|
| 21 |
+
- **Language:** Malagasy (mg)
|
| 22 |
+
- **Source:** Vetso Serasera
|
| 23 |
+
- **License:** User-generated content (Rights belong to original authors). Used for research/educational purposes.
|
| 24 |
+
|
| 25 |
+
## Dataset Structure
|
| 26 |
+
|
| 27 |
+
The dataset is formatted in JSONL.
|
| 28 |
+
|
| 29 |
+
### Data Fields
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
- `url` (string): The URL where the poem was found.
|
| 32 |
+
- `title` (string): The title of the poem.
|
| 33 |
+
- `author` (string): The name of the poet.
|
| 34 |
+
- `content` (string): The body of the poem, preserving line breaks (`\n`) for structure.
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
### Example
|
| 37 |
+
|
| 38 |
+
```json
|
| 39 |
+
{
|
| 40 |
+
"url": "https://vetso.serasera.org/tononkalo/author/title",
|
| 41 |
+
"title": "Embona",
|
| 42 |
+
"author": "Rado",
|
| 43 |
+
"content": "Raha mbola misy embona\nny lasa tsy fanary\nny fo no aoka hiteny\n..."
|
| 44 |
+
}
|
| 45 |
+
```
|
| 46 |
+
### Filtering Logic
|
| 47 |
+
To ensure quality for LLM training:
|
| 48 |
+
Login Pages Removed: Redirects to login pages were filtered out.
|
| 49 |
+
Signatures Removed: Lines at the end of poems containing the author's name or dates (e.g., "12/12/2025") were programmatically removed.
|
| 50 |
+
Non-Malagasy Removed: A heuristic based on stop-words was used to exclude non-Malagasy texts.
|
| 51 |
+
|
| 52 |
+
### How to Use
|
| 53 |
+
|
| 54 |
+
```python
|
| 55 |
+
from datasets import load_dataset
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
dataset = load_dataset("Lo-Renz-O/Collection-Tononkalo-Malagasy")
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
# Print a poem
|
| 60 |
+
