    "text": <text content of given document>,
    "path": <file path to docx>
}
```

Dataset usage
Available "kneset16","kneset17","knesset_tagged" configurations
And only train set.

```


The Knesset Meetings Corpus 2004-2005 is made up of two components:

* Raw texts - 282 files made up of 867,725 lines together. These can be downloaded in two formats:

  * As ``doc`` files, encoded using ``windows-1255`` encoding:

    * ``kneset16.zip`` - Contains 164 text files made up of 543,228 lines together. `[MILA host] <http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il:8088/corpus/software/corpora/knesset/txt/docs/kneset16.zip>`_ `[Github Mirror] <https://github.com/NLPH/knesset-2004-2005/blob/master/kneset16.zip?raw=true>`_
  
    * ``kneset17.zip`` - Contains 118 text files made up of 324,497 lines together. `[MILA host] <http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il:8088/corpus/software/corpora/knesset/txt/docs/kneset17.zip>`_ `[Github Mirror] <https://github.com/NLPH/knesset-2004-2005/blob/master/kneset17.zip?raw=true>`_
  
  * As ``txt`` files, encoded using ``utf8`` encoding:

    * ``kneset.tar.gz`` - An archive of all the raw text files, divided into two folders: `[Github mirror] <https://github.com/NLPH/knesset-2004-2005/blob/master/kneset.tar.gz>`_

      * ``16`` - Contains 164 text files made up of 543,228 lines together.
  
      * ``17`` - Contains 118 text files made up of 324,497 lines together.
    
    * ``knesset_txt_16.tar.gz``- Contains 164 text files made up of 543,228 lines together. `[MILA host] <http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il:8088/corpus/software/corpora/knesset/txt/utf8/knesset_txt_16.tar.gz>`_ `[Github Mirror] <https://github.com/NLPH/knesset-2004-2005/blob/master/knesset_txt_16.tar.gz?raw=true>`_
    
    * ``knesset_txt_17.zip`` - Contains 118 text files made up of 324,497 lines together. `[MILA host] <http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il:8088/corpus/software/corpora/knesset/txt/utf8/knesset_txt_17.zip>`_ `[Github Mirror] <https://github.com/NLPH/knesset-2004-2005/blob/master/knesset_txt_17.zip?raw=true>`_
 
* Tokenized and morphologically tagged texts - Tagged versions exist only for the files in the ``16`` folder. The texts are encoded using `MILA's XML schema for corpora <http://www.mila.cs.technion.ac.il/eng/resources_standards.html>`_. These can be downloaded in two ways:

  * ``knesset_tagged_16.tar.gz`` - An archive of all tokenized and tagged files. `[MILA host] <http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il:8088/corpus/software/corpora/knesset/tagged/knesset_tagged_16.tar.gz>`_ `[Archive.org mirror] <https://archive.org/details/knesset_transcripts_2004_2005>`_
