## Dataset Summary

**SID Clustering (SIDClustring)** is a Persian (Farsi) dataset created for the **Clustering** task, specifically focusing on grouping academic articles. It is part of the [FaMTEB (Farsi Massive Text Embedding Benchmark)](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard). The dataset was constructed from scientific articles available on **SID (Scientific Information Database – sid.ir)**, categorized into 8 distinct domains reflecting academic disciplines.

* **Language(s):** Persian (Farsi)  
* **Task(s):** Clustering (Document Clustering, Topic Modeling)  
* **Source:** Crawled from the SID academic publication platform  
* **Part of FaMTEB:** Yes

## Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset is designed to assess the ability of embedding models to perform document clustering—grouping articles into logical scientific categories. Results can be viewed on the [Persian MTEB Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard), under the Clustering task.

## Construction

1. Articles were collected by crawling the **sid.ir** platform.  
2. For each article:
   - The **title** and **abstract** were extracted.  
   - These were concatenated using two newline characters (`\n\n`) to form the document input.  
3. Each document was assigned to one of 8 predefined SID categories.  
4. The resulting dataset serves as a benchmark for evaluating unsupervised clustering performance.

## Data Splits

* **Train:** 8,712 samples  
* **Development (Dev):** 0 samples  
* **Test:** 3,735 samples
