| | # German+English Wikitext |
| |
|
| | Wikitext_en_de is a replication of the `wikitext` dataset following the work by [Merity et al. (2016)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.07843). |
| | It contains (mostly) all articles that Wikipedia classifies as ["exzellent"](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Exzellente_Artikel) or ["featured"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_articles) and can be used for example for perplexity evaluation. |
| |
|
| | This dataset was created by first scraping the names of the articles belonging to these categories from Wikipedia. Afterwards, we take a recent dump from |
| | wikipedia ("20230901.de" from [`graelo/wikipedia`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/graelo/wikipedia)) and filter the articles to only include those on either list. |
