### Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->

This dataset contains almost all of poems by Iran's great poets through many many past years till now. The original database was tabular, that I convert it to a csv format that contains these columns:

- poem: name of the poem
- poet: name of the poet
- cat: category of the poem
- text: text and verses of the poem



### Dataset Sources [optional]

- **Repository:** [More Information Needed]

## Usage

<!-- Address questions around how the dataset is intended to be used. -->
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("mabidan/ganjoor")
```

## Dataset Creation

Persian language is one of the low-resource languages in NLP tasks.
I'm trying to collect persian datasets to help the community to build helpful tools for this language.
So I'm usually collect persian data from web and transform it to a structure that is convinient for my tasks in NLP.


## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

I didnt do any edit or modification in text and verses. So all the data is comming from the original Ganjoor database.


### Recommendations

<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->
I double checked the data and found that some of poems have no text, I guess there might be a problem in the preprocessing steps or in the actual database. You might want to drop that rows from data if you want to use the dataset.

Users should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the dataset. More information needed for further recommendations.
