### Dataset Summary

In an effort to democratize research on low-resource languages, we release UzCrawl dataset, a web and telegram crawl corpus consisting of materials from nearly 1.2 million unique sources in the Uzbek Language. 

Please refer to our [blogpost](https://tahrirchi.uz/grammatika-tekshiruvi) for further details.

P.S. We updated the dataset with 2nd version that extends the scope to new topics as well as being up to date to March 2024.

To load and use dataset, run this script:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

uz_crawl=load_dataset("tahrirchi/uz-crawl")
```

To use v1 of the dataset, run this script instead:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

uz_crawl=load_dataset("tahrirchi/uz-crawl", revision="b8de928a18559b2a1659124c412ae31c9c238eb8")
