# Random ASCII Dataset

This dataset contains random sequences of ASCII characters, with "train," "validation," and "test" splits, designed to simulate text-like structures using all printable ASCII characters. Each sequence consists of pseudo-randomly generated "words" of various lengths, separated by spaces to mimic natural language text.

## Dataset Details

- **Splits**: Train, Validation, and Test
- **Number of sequences**:
  - Train: 5000 sequences
  - Validation: 5000 sequences
  - Test: 5000 sequences
- **Sequence length**: 512 characters per sequence
- **Character pool**: All printable ASCII characters, including letters, digits, punctuation, and whitespace.

## Sample Usage

To load this dataset in Python, you can use the Hugging Face `datasets` library:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("brando/random-ascii-dataset")

# Access the train, validation, and test splits
train_data = dataset["train"]
val_data = dataset["validation"]
test_data = dataset["test"]

# Print a sample
print(train_data[0]["text"])
```

# Example Data
Below are examples of random sequences generated in this dataset:
```python
#Example 1:
"!Q4$^V3w L@#12 Vd&$%4B+ (k#yFw! [7*9z"

#Example 2:
"T^&3xR f$xH&ty ^23M* qW@# Lm5&"

#Example 3:
"b7$W %&6Zn!!R xT&8N z#G m93T +%^0"
```
