## Dataset Description

**Code-170k-dombe** is a groundbreaking dataset containing 176,999 programming conversations, originally sourced from [glaiveai/glaive-code-assistant-v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/glaiveai/glaive-code-assistant) and translated into Dombe, making coding education accessible to Dombe speakers.

### 🌟 Key Features

- **176,999 high-quality conversations** about programming and coding
- **Pure Dombe language** - democratizing coding education
- **Multi-turn dialogues** covering various programming concepts
- **Diverse topics**: algorithms, data structures, debugging, best practices, and more
- **Ready for instruction tuning** of Large Language Models

### 🎯 Use Cases

- Training Dombe-language coding assistants
- Building educational tools for Dombe developers
- Researching multilingual code generation
- Creating programming tutorials in Dombe
- Supporting low-resource language AI development

## Dataset Structure

### Data Fields

- `conversations`: A list of conversation turns, where each turn contains:
  - `from`: The speaker (`"human"` or `"gpt"`)
  - `value`: The message content in Dombe

### Example

```python
{
  "conversations": [
    {
      "from": "human",
      "value": "[Question in Dombe]"
    },
    {
      "from": "gpt",
      "value": "[Answer in Dombe]"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Usage

### Loading the Dataset

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("michsethowusu/Code-170k-dombe")

# Access training data
train_data = dataset['train']

# Example: Print first conversation
for turn in train_data[0]['conversations']:
    print(f"{turn['from']}: {turn['value']}")
```
