# Kurdish Poetry Meter Classification
This dataset contains Central Kurdish poems with meter classification labels. The dataset includes poems from vejinbooks.com, prepared by AsoSoft group.
## Dataset Information
- **Language**: Central Kurdish (ckb)
- **Total poems**: 1041
- **Number of meters (after filtering)**: 15 (only meters with >=10 poems)
- **Train/Validation/Test split**: 6:2:2 (stratified by meter)
## Data Format
The dataset is stored in Parquet format with the following fields:
- `id`: Unique identifier
- `poet`: Poet name (extracted from filename, e.g., "Diɫdar", "Ḧacî Qadir")
- `poem_number`: Poem number (extracted from filename, e.g., "001", "018")
- `title`: Poem title (usually same as the first hemistich)
- `form`: Form of the poem (e.g., غەزەل, مەسنەوی, نوێ)
- `meter`: Meter pattern of the poem (e.g., مفاعیلن مفاعیلن مفاعیلن مفاعیلن)
- `text`: Poem text content (with # separator removed, newlines preserved)
## Filtering Criteria
- Only poems with meters that have at least 10 poems are included
- Format validation: Only files with correct format (title:, form:, meter: prefixes) are included
- Poems must have more than 5 lines (more than 2 couplets)
## Train/Validation/Test Split
The dataset is split into:
- **Training set**: 60% of the data
- **Validation set**: 20% of the data
- **Test set**: 20% of the data
The split is performed with stratified sampling based on meter classes to ensure balanced distribution across all splits.
## Original Data Format
In the original files, each poem is stored as:
- Line 1: `title: ...` (Title of the poem)
- Line 2: `form: ...` (Form of the poem)
- Line 3: `meter: ...` (Meter pattern)
- Line 4+: Poem text (with # as couplet separator)
## Source
The original dataset was collected from vejinbooks.com by AsoSoft group. This dataset was used for evaluation of an automatic Kurdish poem meter identification method based on Optimality theory.
