# Arabic Books

## Dataset Summary

The `arabic-books` dataset contains **8,500 rows of text**, each representing the full text of a single Arabic book. These texts were extracted using the [arabic-large-nougat](https://huggingface.co/MohamedRashad/arabic-large-nougat) model, showcasing the model’s capabilities in Arabic OCR and text extraction. The dataset spans a total of **1.1 billion tokens**, calculated using the GPT-4 tokenizer.

This dataset is a **testimony to the quality** of the Arabic Nougat models and their effectiveness in extracting structured text from complex Arabic documents.

## Research Context

The dataset is part of the **Arabic Nougat** research project and supports the findings of the research paper:  
**[Arabic-Nougat: Fine-Tuning Vision Transformers for Arabic OCR and Markdown Extraction](https://huggingface.co/papers/2411.17835)**.

## Purpose

This dataset is intended to:
- Demonstrate the performance of Arabic Nougat models.
- Serve as a resource for developing **Arabic language models** and advancing research in **Arabic NLP**.

## Licensing

This dataset is released under the **GPL-3.0 License**, enabling its open-source availability for further research and development.
