# Red Dot Design Award Dataset

This dataset contains information about the products that have won the Red Dot Design Award, a prestigious international design competition. The data was extracted from the official website of the award: <https://www.red-dot.org/>.

## Task

The task for this dataset is text generation, specifically product description generation. Given a product name and category, the goal is to generate a concise and informative description that highlights the features and benefits of the product.

## Limitations

The dataset may have some limitations, such as:

- The data may contain false or outdated information, as it reflects the information available on the website at the time of extraction.
- The data only covers the products that have won the award, which may introduce some selection bias or limit the diversity of the data.
- The data is only in English, although the website also has a German version that could be crawled in the future.
- The data does not include any images of the products, which could be useful for multimodal language models. Images are planned to be scraped in the future.
