Dhivehi Speeches Dataset

This dataset contains speeches and articles scraped from the official website of the President's Office of the Maldives (https://presidency.gov.mv/). It is intended for research and language modeling purposes, especially for the Dhivehi language.

Dataset Structure

Each row contains:

—topic: The title or main topic of the speech/article.
—speaker: The name of the speaker (e.g., President, Vice President, etc.).
—content: The full text of the speech or article.

Collection Method

—Articles were crawled from the paginated press section of the President's Office website.
—Only unique articles are included; previously crawled articles are skipped on reruns.
—The crawler is polite, with delays and user-agent spoofing to avoid overloading the source website.
