Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The dataset was created to help AI systems understand and extract instructions from user manuals. It supports OCR, structured document understanding, and training of AI for automated guidance, troubleshooting, and multilingual comprehension.

Source Data

  • Contributors: Publicly available manuals, product documentation, and simulated user guides
  • Collection Process: Manuals were scanned or photographed. Sensitive information such as serial numbers, personal data, or proprietary content was removed before inclusion.

Other Known Limitations

  • Bias: Consumer electronics and household appliances are more represented than industrial or niche products
  • Visual Quality: Lighting, scan quality, or folded pages may affect OCR performance
  • Format Diversity: Predominantly PDFs and images; limited video or interactive manuals

Intended Uses

✅ Direct Use

  • Training OCR and text extraction models for Korean manuals
  • Step-wise instruction parsing and document understanding research
  • AI-driven troubleshooting and virtual assistant applications
  • Multilingual document analysis for product guides

❌ Out-of-Scope Use

  • Reproducing proprietary manuals for commercial purposes
  • Tracking or surveilling individuals via manual content
  • Misuse of instructions for unsafe or non-intended purposes
