| # BitTokens Dataset |
|
|
| This dataset contains the exact synthetic number-problem CSV files used by the |
| BitTokens paper configs in the public repository. It is intended for reproducing |
| BitTokens and the FoNE, xVal, significant-digit, token-digit, and base-10 |
| baseline experiments. |
|
|
| The CSV files are minimal copies of the original paper data. Only the columns |
| required by the dataloaders are included: |
|
|
| - `prompt` |
| - `text_prompt` |
| - `answer` |
| - `difficulty` |
| - `difficulty_sd` |
|
|
| All values were preserved as strings during processing to avoid numeric |
| precision changes. The original source CSVs were not modified. |
|
|
| ## Files |
|
|
| The repository contains 37 CSV files: |
|
|
| - 14 train files |
| - 14 validation files |
| - 9 test files |
|
|
| The files cover Addition, Multiplication, Division, DivM, Exponentiation, |
| MinMax, Interval, Sorting, Mean, and Std tasks, including the binary-uniform |
| curriculum files used by BitTokens where referenced by the configs. |
|
|
| `manifest.json` records source sizes, output sizes, selected flavor, and stale |
| config references that were skipped because they were not present in the source |
| snapshot. |
|
|
| ## FineWeb Text Data |
|
|
| This dataset intentionally does not include the FineWeb-derived `.txt` files. |
| Those belong to the public FineWeb dataset and should be downloaded from the |
| original source instead. See the BitTokens repository README for the exact |
| FineWeb download and decoding commands. |
|
|
| ## Usage |
|
|
| Download this dataset into your `DATA_PATH` directory: |
|
|
| ```sh |
| hf download KreitnerL/BitTokens-dataset --repo-type dataset --local-dir "$DATA_PATH" |
| ``` |
|
|
| Then download and decode FineWeb separately if you want to reproduce the mixed |
| numeric/text training runs. The BitTokens configs expect the decoded text files |
| to be available under the local `DATA_PATH` as `000_00000_train.txt` and |
| `val_text.txt`. |
