About

This is a large dataset that contains a lot of malayalam text. The dataset is created by combining many other malayalam datasets, filtering and cleaning them.

The dataset is ideal to pretrain (or maybe even fine tune) a Large Language Model on Malayalam language.

This is the second version of the dataset where I've added some more data and removed a lot of data, which were very short(less than 75 characters). Having a lot off shorter sentences will significantly lower data quality. If you need the older dataset, which contained more than 6 million lines of malayalam text(most of them are super short), see this particular kaggle version: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/arjungravi/ultimate-malayalam-dataset/versions/3

If you want more high quality data on malayalam(presumably for pretraining LLMs), I would recommend mixing this with malayalam-sangraha dataset(which is more than 32GB of raw malayalam data).
