# 📚 GutenQA-Recursive
GutenQA-Recursive consists on the same 100 Public Domain Narrative Books used in [GutenQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LumberChunker/GutenQA) (the proposed benchmark to the paper [LumberChunker: Long-Form Narrative Document Segmentation](https://github.com/joaodsmarques/LumberChunker), and serves as one of the baseline chunking approaches utilized on the [LumberChunker](https://github.com/joaodsmarques/LumberChunker) paper.
In this version, passages are segmented with Langchain's [Recursive Character Splitting](https://python.langchain.com/v0.1/docs/modules/data_connection/document_transformers/recursive_text_splitter/) function.
The dataset is organized into the following columns:
- `Book Name`: The title of the book from which the passage is extracted.
- `Book ID`: A unique integer identifier assigned to each book.
- `Chunk ID`: An integer identifier for each chunk of the book. Chunks are listed in the sequence they appear in the book.
- `Chunk`: Each row contains a group of book passages which, in this dataset, are chunks that result from applying [Recursive Character Splitting](https://python.langchain.com/v0.1/docs/modules/data_connection/document_transformers/recursive_text_splitter/) on [GutenQA-Paragraphs](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LumberChunker/GutenQA_Paragraphs).
# 🔧 Loading the Dataset.
```python
import pandas as pd
dataset = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/LumberChunker/GutenQA_Paragraphs/GutenQA_recursive.parquet", engine="pyarrow")
# Filter the DataFrame to show only rows with the specified book name
single_book_chunks = dataset[dataset['Book Name'] == 'A_Christmas_Carol_-_Charles_Dickens'].reset_index(drop=True)
```
