Azerbaijani Law Corpus

This dataset contains laws, acts, and other legal documents of the Republic of Azerbaijan. All of the data has been collected from e-qanun.az.

Samples that contained less than 250 characters after preprocessing were left out, so you may not find some small documents.

If you are looking for a specific law, find its id on e-qanun.az, and then use this id to find the text. For example, id of the Labor Code is 46943: https://e-qanun.az/framework/46943

The following documents are not available: [29445]

We have not scraped documents beyond 55103.

    abstract = "The emergence of multilingual large language models has enabled the development of language understanding and generation systems in Azerbaijani. However, most of the production-grade systems rely on cloud solutions, such as GPT-4. While there have been several attempts to develop open foundation models for Azerbaijani, these works have not found their way into common use due to a lack of systemic benchmarking. This paper encompasses several lines of work that promote open-source foundation models for Azerbaijani. We introduce (1) a large text corpus for Azerbaijani, (2) a family of encoder-only language models trained on this dataset, (3) labeled datasets for evaluating these models, and (4) extensive evaluation that covers all major open-source models with Azerbaijani support.",
