## Dataset Usage
### Using `datasets` library
```
from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/ntrex_128", trust_remote_code=True)
```
### Using `seacrowd` library
```import seacrowd as sc
# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("ntrex_128", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("ntrex_128"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
```
