## Data Collection |
|
The data was collected from the BBC Urdu website using web scraping techniques. The articles were published between 2003 and 2020, covering a wide range of topics such as politics, sports, technology, and entertainment. |
|
|
|
## Data Preprocessing |
|
The text data was preprocessed to remove any HTML tags and non-Urdu characters. The summaries were created by human annotators, who read the full text of the articles and summarized the main points. The dataset was split into training, validation, and test sets, with 80%, 10%, and 10% of the data in each set respectively. |
|

|
## Potential Use Cases |

This dataset can be used for training and evaluating models for automatic summarization of Urdu text. It can also be used for research in natural language processing, machine learning, and information retrieval. |
