+ # Dataset Card for Burmese VOA News Dataset
21
+
22
+ This dataset is a comprehensive collection of Burmese news articles crawled from **Voice of America (VOA) Burmese**. It is specifically curated and processed for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, focusing on high-quality news content, including the "Science and Technology" category.
23
+
24
+ ## Dataset Summary
25
+
26
+ The **Burmese VOA Dataset** contains **270,546 rows** of news articles. The data has been meticulously scraped and structured into a machine-readable format (`JSONL`) to support the development of Burmese Language Models (LLMs), text summarization, and sentiment analysis.

+
51
+ The curation process involved:
52
+ 1. Web scraping via optimized Python scripts.
53
+ 2. Filtering specific categories for quality control.
54
+ 3. Formatting into standardized JSONL for easy integration with Hugging Face `datasets` library.
