# 🚀 Misraj Unstructured Data Dump (MUDD)

*A large-scale Arabic text dataset translated from SlimPajama-627B for pretraining Arabic language models*

## 📚 Dataset Summary

MUDD is a substantial dataset comprising *4,758,338 rows* of unstructured, plain Arabic text. Each entry includes Arabic text and retains its UUID from the original source. This dataset provides high-quality Arabic content specifically designed for pretraining large language models (LLMs) and advancing Arabic natural language processing (NLP) research.

## 🌟 Key Features

* 📏 **Size**: 4,758,338 rows of Arabic text
* 🗣️ **Language**: Arabic (translated from English)
* 📌 **Source**: Selected subset of [SlimPajama-627B](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cerebras/SlimPajama-627B)
* 🤖 **Translation Model**: [Mutarjim](https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.17894)
* 📝 **Format**: Plain text with UUID identifiers

## 🗃️ Dataset Details

### 🌐 Source Data

The foundation of MUDD is [SlimPajama-627B](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cerebras/SlimPajama-627B), a high-quality English text dataset containing:

* 📈 627 billion tokens
* ♻️ Deduplicated content
* 🌍 Diverse sources including web pages, Wikipedia, GitHub, and books

*Note*: MUDD is derived from a carefully selected subset of SlimPajama-627B, not the complete dataset.

### 🔄 Translation Process

The Arabic content was generated using *Mutarjim*, a high-performance Arabic-English translation model built on the [Kuwain-1.5B](https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.15120) architecture. The translation involved:

1. 🛠️ *Pre-training*: On extensive monolingual Arabic and English corpora
2. 🎯 *Fine-tuning*: Using high-quality, human-curated parallel sentence pairs for accurate Arabic translations
