| # Paraacademic institution's archived educational activities metadata scraped and packed as a dataset. |
| ## Dataset Details |
| ### Dataset Description |
| Scraped titles and summarized descriptions of the "non-members available" data of the Seminars of The New Centre for Research & Practice, took this from **our** website where i have a status of god of FireStoreStoNe (FSSN). |
| Regarding the latter, should i not scrap the data with an access to the direct descriptions links? |
| 100% Human-made, and not "just" humans, but each of the descriptions is made by Instructor, a person that was responsible for and delivered the materials themselves or curated the sessions for the guest lecturers. |
| In plans only expansion, I want to persevere with transcripts of video sessions, after all, TNC plans training a model of their own. Small? Yes, but academic language quality steps up where quantity fails...! |

| ## Uses |
| ### Direct Use |
| Downstream tasks include and are not limited to: |
| *training librarian from archives department-assistent or agent;\ |
| *generating syllabuses and other educational metadata generations;\ |
| *references for RAG and/or some figures of the leading avantgarde in SoTA thought, including the experimental genres of thought such as theory-fiction; \ |
| *few-shot learning (or should i say although-not-as-many-as-one-would-like-them-to-be-it-is-not-so-few-shot?); \ |
| *usable for training for analogous cases when you need to create a database for niche or NietzSHe subject, or if you are part of that future which xenofeminists want us to have! \ |
| *may be used for references in deep research agent by the virtue of the descriptions sometimes including references to the readings. Caveats: niche topics only! \ |
| **HINT!** \ |
| One can also build a benchmark `Match the titles with descriptions` Intentionally place them out of order! |
|
|
| ## Dataset Structure |
| Baroque Titles & 100% human-written Descriptions. Sizes vary, most of them introduce the topics, abstracts of each Seminar's Session, sometimes include Readings. |
| **Curation Rationale** \ |
| Spreading the high quality non-AI-generated data compiled by the brightest minds of philosophical underground raves and (sometimes) mainstream festivals.\ |
| **Source Data** \ |
| It is literally what the name of the dataset says: the descriptions and titles of the Seminars section of Archives of The New Centre for Research & Practice: |

|
|
| **Data Collection and Processing** \ |
| I also added the code which was used for automated scraping of the texts, must work with the websites that are built on fs and if you have a godlike status or at least angelic auth-tokens |

| ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations |
| Main limitation is the niche topic and the gated access to the actual content of the seminar, which is a work in progress, an STT-based work with proprietary materials which excludes cloud compute mostly. \ |
| Some topics may be felt as offensive for pokvaches, fideists and **other** `persons who believe that ethical categories and qualities exist beyond intersubjectivity, as 'objective qualities'!` |
| ### DO NOT USE IT IF YOU ARE |
| `Rudolf Carnap or Early Ludwig Wittgenstein;` \ |
| `technosolutionist;` \ |
| `correlationist;`\ |
| `late 'dark enlightened' Nick Land;` \ |
| `rusian (:= the Clause No. 426/F-442 "Піди відсмокчи Українського прутня" is applied without exceptions);` \ |
| `Pete Thiel's Puppet (UK's See Thiel's Bill a.k.a. "Only Wolfendale is welcome at TNC as Pete...")` |
