# 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 |
