When trying to load the dataset using the code:

dataset = load\_dataset(“AY000554/Car\_plate\_OCR\_dataset”)

I get the error:

HfHubHTTPError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: [https://huggingface.co/api/datasets/AY000554/Car\_plate\_OCR\_dataset/tree/67466c9fc2e6571f190447d812dd3f1cda5589e2/train?recursive=True&expand=False](https://huggingface.co/api/datasets/AY000554/Car_plate_OCR_dataset/tree/67466c9fc2e6571f190447d812dd3f1cda5589e2/train?recursive=True&expand=False) (Request ID: Root=1-6630de55-6fca4af334555d4a24fd5bf3;cce9a2e6-c55f-4fd4-9e49-6e3120076d33)

Internal Error - We’re working hard to fix this as soon as possible!

What could be the reason for that?

Same here. getting 503 error from past few days.

For me the error seemed random. When I opened the notebook the next day, it started working.
