# Summary
`tamil_stories` is an open source dataset of instruct-style records generated by scraping publicly available short stories on the following websites.
- [Siruvarmalar](https://www.siruvarmalar.com/)
- [Tamilsurangam](https://www.tamilsurangam.in/)
Apart from scraping and automated cleaning, the data was also tagged manually by a group of volunteers.
This dataset created as part of [Aya Open Science Initiative](https://sites.google.com/cohere.com/aya-en/home) by Cohere For AI.
This dataset can be used for any purpose, whether academic or commercial, under the terms of the [Apache 2.0](https://opensource.org/license/apache-2-0) License.
Supported Tasks:
- Training LLMs
- Synthetic Data Generation
- Data Augmentation
- Question Answering
Languages: Tamil Version: 1.0
# Dataset Overview
`tamil_stories` is a corpus of 1202 records generated by converting scraped stories into instruction-style. This Dataset can be used for the following tasks:
- Given the story, generate the appropriate title for the story.
- Given some prominent characters/words from the story along with the title, generate the complete story.
# Intended Uses
While immediately valuable for instruction fine tuning large language models, as a corpus of instruction prompts, this dataset also presents a valuable opportunity for synthetic data generation.
For example, prompt-completions could be submitted as few-shot examples to a large open language model to generate new stories in a similar style.
# Dataset
## Load with Datasets
To load this dataset with Datasets, you'll just need to install Datasets as `pip install datasets --upgrade` and then use the following code:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset('aitamilnadu/tamil_stories')
```
## Purpose of Collection
Tamil is a low-resource language (inspite of having rich literature) where there are no instruct-style dataset to the best of my knowledge.
This was created as a part of [Aya Open Science Initiative](https://sites.google.com/cohere.com/aya-en/home) from Cohere For AI to make sure Tamil is well represented in the space of AI/ML.
Unlike other datasets that are limited to non-commercial use, this dataset can be used, modified, and extended for any purpose, including academic or commercial applications.
## Sources
The following are the websites from which the data is scraped.
- [Siruvarmalar](https://www.siruvarmalar.com/)
- [Tamilsurangam](https://www.tamilsurangam.in/)
The scripts used for scraping and cleaning the data can be found here:

[Dataset Creation](https://github.com/miluckshan-j/tamil-dataset-creation-tools)
- The scraped data is carefully analysed making sure there are no missed words, spelling mistakes and the data is in Tamil only.
- Words/characters are manually added to stories by volunteers.
- Finally, converted the pre-processed data into instruct-style prompts and completions.
## Templates
For the creation of instruct-style prompts and completions from the scraped data, the following templates were used:
1. Given the story, generate the appropriate title for the story.
```python
Prompt:
கீழே கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ள கதைக்குப் பொருத்தமான தலைப்பைக் கொடு.
கதை: {Story}
Completion:
கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ள கதைக்குப் பொருத்தமான தலைப்பு '{Title}' என்பதாகும்.
```
2. Given some prominent characters/words from the story along with the title, generate the complete story.
```python
Prompt:
கீழே கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ள வார்த்தைகளையும் தலைப்பையும் பயன்படுத்தி சிறு கதை எழுதுக.
வார்த்தைகள்: {Comma_Seperated_Words}
தலைப்பு: {Title}
Completion:
{Story}
```
## Personal or Sensitive Data
This dataset contains public information. To my knowledge, there are no private person’s personal identifiers or sensitive information.
## Language
Tamil
# Known Limitations
- The meanings used in the prompts/completions are chosen randomly based on the availability of complete sentences and this may reflect some bias by ignoring other meanings written by other scholars.
