About
AI/ML Training Dataset – Rights-Cleared STEM & Non-STEM EPUB E-Book Collection (Indian Publishers)
Description
This data product is a comprehensive, rights-cleared collection of 18,000+ EPUB e-books published by leading Indian publishers and licensed by Arts & Science Academic Publications (ASAP) for commercial AI and machine learning applications.
With a publishing heritage dating back to 1940, we are a fourth-generation, family-owned publishing organization with over 80 years of publishing experience. Since 2014, ASAP has expanded its digital publishing operations to build one of India's largest collections of professionally published digital books.
The collection includes both STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and Non-STEM publications, making it suitable for training domain-specific as well as general-purpose AI models. Educational textbook collections are increasingly being recognized as valuable resources for AI model training and evaluation because they provide structured, high-quality, expert-authored content. ([Nalandadata.ai][1])
The dataset has been curated specifically for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications, including Large Language Model (LLM) pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, multilingual NLP, document understanding, knowledge extraction, and educational AI systems.
All content is proprietary, rights-cleared, and available under a global, non-exclusive commercial licensing model.
