# Myanmar Written Corpus

The **Myanmar Written Corpus** is a comprehensive collection of high-quality written Myanmar text, designed to address the lack of large-scale, openly accessible resources for Myanmar Natural Language Processing (NLP). It is tailored to support various tasks such as text-to-speech (TTS), automatic speech recognition (ASR), translation, text generation, and more.

This dataset serves as a critical resource for researchers and developers aiming to advance Myanmar language technologies.

## Dataset Overview

- **Language**: Myanmar
- **Format**: Parquet
- **Size**: 10 million sentences
- **License**: [CC0 1.0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/)
- **Purpose**: To support research and development in Myanmar NLP tasks.

## Features

| Field Name       | Description                                                               |
|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `sentence_id`     | A unique numeric ID for each sentence.                                   |
| `text`            | The original written Myanmar sentence.                                  |
| `string_length`   | The number of characters in the sentence.                               |
| `length_category` | Categorization of the sentence length (e.g., `<100`, `<200`, etc.).      |

## Dataset Statistics

- **Total Sentences**: 10 million.
- **Character Length Ranges**:
  - `<100`: To be analyzed.
  - `<200`: To be analyzed.
  - `<300`: To be analyzed.
  - ... (Expand as needed).

## Example Usage

The dataset can be loaded using the `datasets` library from Hugging Face:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("freococo/myanmar-written-corpus")

# Access features
print(dataset["train"][0])  # Print the first example
print(dataset["train"][:5])  # Print the first 5 examples

# Access specific columns
texts = dataset["train"]["text"]  # Extract all sentences
lengths = dataset["train"]["string_length"]  # Extract string lengths
```

## Applications

This dataset is suitable for:
  - **Training NLP models**: Enables fine-tuning transformers for Myanmar language tasks.
  - **Text-to-Speech (TTS)**: Provides diverse text for TTS synthesis models.
  - **Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)**: Aids in building language models for ASR systems.
  - **Machine Translation (MT)**: Offers a resource for Myanmar-to-other-languages translation models.
  - **Text Generation**: Supports training for Myanmar text generation models.
