You don’t know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain’t no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or a...

Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece—all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day api...

The widow she cried over me, and called me a poor lost lamb, and she called me a lot of other names, too, but she never meant no harm by it.

After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by-and-by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about him, because I don’t take no stock in dead people. Pretty soon I wanted to ...

Miss Watson she kept pecking at me, and it got tiresome and lonesome. By-and-by they fetched the niggers in and had prayers, and then everybody was off to bed.

Well, when Tom and me got to the edge of the hilltop we looked away down into the village and could see three or four lights twinkling, where there was sick folks, maybe; and the stars over us was sparkling ever so fine; and down by the village was the river, a whole mile broad, and awful still and grand. We went down ...

“Now, we’ll start this band of robbers and call it Tom Sawyer’s Gang. Everybody that wants to join has got to take an oath, and write his name in blood.” Everybody was willing.

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.
  • Chunk: Each row contains a group of book passages which, in this dataset, are chunks that result from applying Semantic Chunking on GutenQA-Paragraphs.

🔧 Loading the Dataset.

import pandas as pd
dataset = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/LumberChunker/GutenQA_Semantic/GutenQA_semantic.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)
