# 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'!`
