## Dataset Description

We create this dataset as a mirror of the original [huggingface dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/michaelauli/wiki_bio), since this contains remote code which is no longer supported by latest versions of the datasets library.

- **Repository:** https://github.com/DavidGrangier/wikipedia-biography-dataset
- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.07771.pdf
- **GitHub:** https://github.com/DavidGrangier/wikipedia-biography-dataset

### Dataset Summary

This Dataset contains 728321 biographies extracted from Wikipedia containing the first paragraph of the biography and the tabular infobox.
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The main purpose of this dataset is developing text generation models.

### Languages

English.


### Data Fields

The structure of a single sample is the following:
```json
{
   "input_text":{
      "context":"pope michael iii of alexandria\n",
      "table":{
         "column_header":[
            "type",
            "ended",
            "death_date",
            "title",
            "enthroned",
            "name",
            "buried",
            "religion",
            "predecessor",
            "nationality",
            "article_title",
            "feast_day",
            "birth_place",
            "residence",
            "successor"
         ],
         "content":[
            "pope",
            "16 march 907",
            "16 march 907",
            "56th of st. mark pope of alexandria & patriarch of the see",
            "25 april 880",
            "michael iii of alexandria",
            "monastery of saint macarius the great",
            "coptic orthodox christian",
            "shenouda i",
            "egyptian",
            "pope michael iii of alexandria\n",
            "16 -rrb- march -lrb- 20 baramhat in the coptic calendar",
            "egypt",
            "saint mark 's church",
            "gabriel i"
         ],
         "row_number":[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
      }
   },
   "target_text":"pope michael iii of alexandria -lrb- also known as khail iii -rrb- was the coptic pope of alexandria and patriarch of the see of st. mark -lrb- 880 -- 907 -rrb- .\nin 882 , the governor of egypt , ahmad ibn tulun , forced khail to pay heavy contributions , forcing him to sell a church and some attached properties to the local jewish community .\nthis building was at one time believed to have later become the site of the cairo geniza .\n"
}
```
where, in the `"table"` field, all the information of the Wikpedia infobox is stored (the header of the infobox is stored in `"column_header"` and the information in the `"content"` field).
