| # Wikipedia Sentence Snippets |
|
|
| This dataset contains cleaned Wikipedia sentence snippets extracted from multiple languages, by taking only the first half of a Wikipedia article, after filtering for stubs. |
|
|
| ## Files |
| - `en/en.parquet` |
| - `es/es.parquet` |
|
|
| And others. |
|
|
| ## Format |
| Each parquet contains a `sentence` column. |
|
|
| ### Data Splits |
| All configurations contain a single `train` split. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards |
|
|
| The dataset is generally used for Language Modeling. |
|
|
| ## From `wikimedia/wikipedia` |
|
|
| ### Languages |
|
|
| You can find the list of languages here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ## Dataset Creation |
|
|
| ### Source Data |
|
|
| #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization |
|
|
| The dataset is built from the Wikipedia dumps: https://dumps.wikimedia.org |
|
|
| You can find the full list of languages and dates here: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html |
|
|
| The articles have been parsed using the [`mwparserfromhell`](https://mwparserfromhell.readthedocs.io) tool. |
|
|
| When uploading the data files for the 20231101 dump, we noticed that the Wikimedia Dumps website does not contain this date dump |
| for the "bbc", "dga", nor "zgh" Wikipedias. We have reported the issue to the Wikimedia Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T351761 |
