# Pens & Pencils (Tabular) |
|
|
|
This dataset contains real-world measurements of pens and pencils collected manually, |
|
with augmentation for experimentation in ML education. |
|
|
|
## Features (6) |
|
- **length_cm** (float) |
|
- **weight_g** (float) |
|
- **is_metallic** (0/1) |
|
- **body_shape** (categorical; e.g., round, hexagonal, triangular) |
|
- **has_clip** (0/1) |
|
- **is_pen** (binary target; 1 = pen, 0 = pencil) |
|
|
|
## Splits |
|
- `original`: 30 manually measured rows (≥30) |
|
- `augmented`: 300 synthetic rows (≥300), label-preserving jitter on numeric fields |
|
|
|
## EDA |
|
- See `assets/feature_dists.png` and `assets/target_dist.png` for summary distributions. |
|
|
|
## Intended Use |
|
Educational use for practice with tabular data, augmentation, and Hugging Face Datasets. |
|
|
|
## Ethical Notes |
|
All data collected is from personal, non-sensitive objects (pens/pencils). No PII. |
|
|
|
## AI Usage |
|
Some augmentation/plot code was assisted with GenAI, transparently documented in this notebook. The majority of code was referenced from the inclass tabular dataset example refactored for my use case |
