# Azerbaijani Book Dataset
The Azerbaijani Book Dataset is a curated collection of Azerbaijani language books, encompassing a diverse range of genres and styles. This dataset is designed for use in natural language processing (NLP) research.
## Dataset Structure
The Azerbaijani Book Dataset contains books in a structured format. Each entry consists of:
- **Title:** The title of the book
- **Text:** The main text content of the book
- **Source:** An integer code representing the origin or source of the book
The dataset includes a total of 3,602 books, with approximately 180 million words, making it a comprehensive resource for Azerbaijani language research.
## Uses
The allmalab/aze-books dataset is licensed under the Apache-2.0 license and is intended for educational, research, and commercial purposes. Additionally, users are encouraged to cite the dataset appropriately in any publications or works derived from it. Citation information:

abstract = "The emergence of multilingual large language models has enabled the development of language understanding and generation systems in Azerbaijani. However, most of the production-grade systems rely on cloud solutions, such as GPT-4. While there have been several attempts to develop open foundation models for Azerbaijani, these works have not found their way into common use due to a lack of systemic benchmarking. This paper encompasses several lines of work that promote open-source foundation models for Azerbaijani. We introduce (1) a large text corpus for Azerbaijani, (2) a family of encoder-only language models trained on this dataset, (3) labeled datasets for evaluating these models, and (4) extensive evaluation that covers all major open-source models with Azerbaijani support.",
