# Categories-100-en
A curated set of 100 human-readable English category names, generated via self-instruct prompting with DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731.
## Dataset Description
- **Total items:** 100
- **Format:** JSONL (one JSON object per line)
- **Field:** `"category"` – human-readable category name (string)
- **Language:** English
- **License:** Apache 2.0
- **Source:** LLM-generated via DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 (self-instruct). Not affiliated with DeepSeek.
## Use cases
- As a **label set** for zero-shot or few-shot text classification demos
- For testing long-list selection / tag extraction in LLMs
- As a quick vocabulary of common subject areas for educational tools
## Limitations
- Categories are **flat** (no hierarchy) and some overlap (e.g., "Physics" vs."Astronomy", "Art" vs. "Painting").
- Generated by an LLM; expect some inconsistencies in granularity.
## Quickstart
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("RowRed/categories-100-en", split="train")
categories = [row["category"] for row in ds]
print(len(categories)) # 100
```
