PCD (Poem Comprehensive Dataset)

Introduced by Waleed A. Yousef et al. in Learning meters of Arabic and English poems with Recurrent Neural Networks: a step forward for language understanding and synthesis7 May 2019 archive 2025-07-28

The Arabic dataset is scraped mainly from الموسوعة الشعرية and الديوان. After merging both, the total number of verses is 1,831,770 poetic verses. Each verse is labeled by its meter, the poet who wrote it, and the age which it was written in. There are 22 meters, 3701 poets and 11 ages: Pre-Islamic, Islamic, Umayyad, Mamluk, Abbasid, Ayyubid, Ottoman, Andalusian, era between Umayyad and Abbasid, Fatimid, and finally the modern age. We are only interested in the 16 classic meters which are attributed to Al-Farahidi, and they comprise the majority of the dataset with a total number around 1.7M verses. It is important to note that the verses diacritic states are not consistent. This means that a verse can carry full, semi diacritics, or it can carry nothing.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

All 3 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

2 shown of 2 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 3. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
