Abstract
The dataset contains IDPs
Each row in this dataset represents tabular records. Temporal coverage is indicated by the unnamed_1 column(s). Geographic scope: LKA.
Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).
Dataset Characteristics
Variables
Geographic — survey_information (REF., AHL-01, AHL-02), site_location (SSID, AHL-01, AHL-02), idps_demography (range 4.0–201.0), displacement_condition.
Demographic — site_management (Available, Unavailable, SITE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (SMC) AVAILABILITY).
Identifier / Metadata — unnamed_1, unnamed_2 (range 2.0–2.0), unnamed_4 (Ayagama, Kahawaththa, Deiyangala vidyalaya), unnamed_5 (Rathnapura, DISTRICT, #adm1+name), unnamed_6 (Nivithigala, Elapatha, Eheliyagoda) and 73 others.
Other — vulnerable_group (range 0.0–4.0), shelter_and_nfi, wash, food, health and 5 others.
Quick Start
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/asia-displacement-sri-lanka-displacement-idps-baseline-ass")
train = ds["train"].to_pandas()
test = ds["test"].to_pandas()
print(train.shape)
train.head()Schema
Numeric Summary
Curation
Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (N/A, null, none, -, unknown, no data, #N/A) were unified to NaN. 29 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.
Limitations
- Data originates from International Organization for Migration (IOM) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
- The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling:
unnamed_50,unnamed_51. - Refer to the original HDX dataset page for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
