arXiv:2602.19333v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This research introduces the first large-scale, well-balanced Persian social media text classification dataset, specifically designed to address the lack of comprehensive resources in this domain. The dataset comprises 36,000 posts across nine categories (Economic, Artistic, Sports, Political, Social, Health, Psychological, Historical, and Science & Technology), each containing 4,000 samples to ensure balanced class distribution.

The increasing availability of large language models and the strategic importance of national digital sovereignty are driving the creation of domain-specific and language-specific AI datasets.
This development indicates a global trend towards building localized AI capabilities, reducing dependency on external models and data, which is crucial for information control and economic competitiveness.
The existence of this dataset enables more effective development of Persian-specific AI applications, potentially enhancing capabilities in areas like content moderation, sentiment analysis, and information retrieval within Iran and Farsi-speaking communities.
