# Summary
`aya-telugu-food-recipes` is an open source dataset of instruct-style records generated by webscraping a Telugu food recipes website. This was created as part of [Aya Open Science Initiative](https://sites.google.com/cohere.com/aya-en/home) from Cohere For AI.

This dataset can be used for any purpose, whether academic or commercial, under the terms of the [Apache 2.0](https://opensource.org/license/apache-2-0) License.

Supported Tasks:
- Training LLMs
- Synthetic Data Generation
- Data Augmentation

Languages: Telugu Version: 1.0

# Dataset Overview
`aya-telugu-food-recipes` is a corpus of more than 400 records generated by webscraping of the Telugu Food Recipes Website. This Dataset can be used for the following task:
- Given the name of the food item, generates the detailed recipe along with the ingredients.

# Intended Uses
While immediately valuable for instruction fine tuning large language models, as a corpus of instruction prompts, this dataset also presents a valuable opportunity for synthetic data generation in the methods. For example, prompt-completions could be submitted as few-shot examples to a large open language model to generate additional food recipes.

# Dataset

## Load with Datasets
To load this dataset with Datasets, you'll just need to install Datasets as `pip install datasets --upgrade` and then use the following code:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset('SuryaKrishna02/aya-telugu-food-recipes')
```

## Purpose of Collection
Telugu is a low-resource language where there no food recipes instruct-style dataset to the best of my knowledge. This was created as a part of [Aya Open Science Initiative](https://sites.google.com/cohere.com/aya-en/home) from Cohere For AI to make sure Telugu is well represented in the space of AI/ML. Unlike other datasets that are limited to non-commercial use, this dataset can be used, modified, and extended for any purpose, including academic or commercial applications.

## Sources
- **Andhrajyothi Website**: Performed webscraping from [Andhrajyothi Website](https://www.andhrajyothy.com/vantalu) which is a famous telugu website consisting of food recipes in the following categories:
  1. తీపి వంటలు
  2. పచ్చళ్లు
  3. శాకాహారం
  4. మాంసాహారం
- Next, performed some pre-processing of the data like removing unwanted characters, extracting ingredients and cooking instructions seperately from the scraped data. Finally, converted the scraped data into Instruct-style prompts and completions.

## Templates
For the creation of instruct-style prompts and completions from the scraped data, the following one template was used:
1. Given the name of the food item, generates the detailed recipe along with the ingredients.
```python
Prompt:
("{{Food Item}} ఎలా తయారు చేస్తారో క్లుప్తంగా ఇవ్వండి." /
"మీరు {{Food Item}} తయారు చెయ్యడానికి ఎటువంటి తిండి పదార్ధాలు వాడుతురు మరియు ఏ విధముగా చేస్తారో వివరణ ఇవ్వండి." / 
"నేను {{Food Item}} చాలా రుచికరంగా ఉంటుంది అని విన్నాను. నాకు ఇది ఎలా చెయ్యాలో సంక్లిప్తంగా చెప్పు." /
"మొదటిసారి వంట చేసేవారికి చెప్పినట్టు నాకు {{Food Item}} ఎలా చెయ్యాలొ చెప్పు" /
"{{Food Item}} ఎలా చేయాలి? సమాధానం లో కావలసిన పదార్ధాలు మరియు తయారు చేసే విధానం ఉండాలి." /
"{{Food Item}} ఎలా తయారు చేస్తాం?" /
"{{Food Item}} రెసిపీ ఏంటి?")

Completion:
{{Food Item}} కి కావలసిన పదార్ధాలు మరియు తయారు చేసే విధానం ఇక్కడ ఇవ్వబడింది.
కావలసిన పదార్థాలు:
{{Ingredients}}

తయారుచేసే విధానం:
{{Cooking Instructions}}
```
