TL;DR
The NAIST Academic Travelogue Dataset (ATD) is a large, publicly available Japanese travelogue corpus designed to facilitate research, improve reproducibility, and enable comparative studies in natural language processing.
Contribution
We created and released a comprehensive Japanese travelogue dataset, addressing data scarcity and supporting transparent, reproducible research in the field.
Findings
Over 31 million words of travelogues included
Provides both domestic and overseas travel narratives
Facilitates research reproducibility and comparison
Abstract
We have constructed NAIST Academic Travelogue Dataset (ATD) and released it free of charge for academic research. This dataset is a Japanese text dataset with a total of over 31 million words, comprising 4,672 Japanese domestic travelogues and 9,607 overseas travelogues. Before providing our dataset, there was a scarcity of widely available travelogue data for research purposes, and each researcher had to prepare their own data. This hinders the replication of existing studies and fair comparative analysis of experimental results. Our dataset enables any researchers to conduct investigation on the same data and to ensure transparency and reproducibility in research. In this paper, we describe the academic significance, characteristics, and prospects of our dataset.
