27
+ - **Vocabulary Size**: 553,989 unique words
28
+ - **Unique Texts**: 12,299
29
+ - **Time Period**: 2020-2024
30
+
31
+ ## Dataset Structure
32
+
33
+ ### Data Format
34
+ The dataset is provided in JSONL (JSON Lines) format, where each line contains a single article entry.
35
+
36
+ ### Data Fields
37
+ Each article entry contains the following fields:
38
+ - `title`: The title of the article
39
+ - `content`: The content of the article
40
+ - `category`: The category/topic classification (currently unclassified)
41

52
+ - Haddas Eritra newspaper
53
+ - Other Tigrinya websites
54
+
55
+ ## Supported Tasks
56
+
57
+ This dataset can be used for various NLP tasks including:
58
+ - **Language Modeling**: Training autoregressive language models
59
+ - **Text Generation**: Fine-tuning models for Tigrinya text generation
60
+ - **Machine Translation**: As source or target data for translation models
61
+ - **Text Classification**: Once categories are properly labeled
62
+ - **Named Entity Recognition**: Training NER models for Tigrinya
63

65
+ ## Languages
66
+
67
+ - **Tigrinya**: Primary language of the dataset
68
+
69
+ ## Dataset Creation
70
+
71
+ ### Curation Rationale
72
+
73
+ This dataset was created to address the scarcity of large-scale, high-quality Tigrinya language resources for machine learning applications. Tigrinya is an under-resourced language, and this collection aims to support research and development in Tigrinya NLP.
74
+
75
+ ### Source Data
76
+
77
+ #### Data Collection
78
+ Articles were collected from publicly available Tigrinya language websites and publications, spanning the years 2020-2024.
79
+
80
+ #### Data Processing
81
+ The text has been processed and structured into a consistent JSONL format for easy integration into machine learning pipelines.
82
+
83
+ ## Considerations for Using the Data
84
+
85
+ ### Social Impact of Dataset
86
+
87
+ This dataset contributes to language preservation and technological inclusion by providing resources for Tigrinya language processing. It enables the development of AI tools that can serve Tigrinya-speaking communities.
88
+
89
+ ### Discussion of Biases
90
+
91
+ Users should be aware that the dataset reflects the perspectives and biases present in the source materials. The articles come from specific news sources and websites, which may have particular editorial viewpoints.
92
+
93
+ ### Other Known Limitations
94
+
95
+ - Categories are not yet classified, limiting supervised learning applications
96
+ - The dataset covers a specific time period (2020-2024)
97
+ - Source diversity may be limited to available online Tigrinya content
