### Dataset Summary
The `geeksforgeeks` dataset is a curated collection of **9,438 educational articles** scraped from [GeeksforGeeks](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org), a widely-used platform for learning programming, computer science, and data science topics. Each entry includes metadata such as publication date, title, full text, topic, URL, and precomputed vector embeddings **(OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large)**.
