BabyLM Dataset
This download includes LM Pretraining data for the 2023 CoNLL/CMCL shared task, The BabyLM Challenge. The (unzipped) data is not large, only ~700MB.
Note that there is also a multi-lingual version of this dataset, that is availabled under the multi-lingual branch of the dataset repository.
