# 📚 GutenQA-Paragraphs
GutenQA-Paragraphs consists on the same 100 Public Domain Narrative Books used in [GutenQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LumberChunker/GutenQA). In this version, passages are extracted at the paragraph level.<br>
The [GutenQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LumberChunker/GutenQA) dataset, as available, is the result of applying the text segmentation method [LumberChunker](https://github.com/joaodsmarques/LumberChunker) to the GutenQA-Paragraphs.<br>

The dataset is organized into the following columns:

- `Book Name`: The title of the book from which the passage is extracted.
- `Book ID`: A unique integer identifier assigned to each book.
- `Chunk ID`: An integer identifier for each chunk of the book. Chunks are listed in the sequence they appear in the book.
- `Chapter`: The name(s) of the chapter(s) from which the chunk is derived. If LumberChunker merged paragraphs from multiple chapters, the names of all relevant chapters are included.
- `Chunk`: Each row contains a book passage which, in this dataset, is a single paragraph.

<br>


# 🤝 Compatibility
GutenQA-Paragraph serves as the foundational data to apply different segmentation methods, such as:<br>
- [Lumberchunker](https://github.com/joaodsmarques/LumberChunker)
- [Recursive Character Splitting](https://python.langchain.com/v0.1/docs/modules/data_connection/document_transformers/recursive_text_splitter/)
- [Semantic Chunking](https://github.com/FullStackRetrieval-com/RetrievalTutorials/tree/main/tutorials/LevelsOfTextSplitting)
- [Propositions](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.06648)





# 🔧 Loading the Dataset.
```python
import pandas as pd
dataset = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/LumberChunker/GutenQA_Paragraphs/GutenQA_paragraphs.parquet")

# Filter the DataFrame to show only rows with the specified book name
single_book_chunks = dataset[dataset['Book Name'] == 'A_Christmas_Carol_-_Charles_Dickens'].reset_index(drop=True)
```
