Deduped Paper Text Dataset

This dataset merges an existing paper-text parquet export with one or more backfill parquet shards, then keeps exactly one row per canonical_paper_id.

One row corresponds to one canonical arXiv paper. Where multiple versions are available, the merge keeps the strongest text row according to the repo's selection logic: prefer non-partial text, then prefer raw-PDF-derived text, then newer versions, then longer text.

Important provenance note

This is a merged release, not a fresh one-pass export. It combines an earlier deduped paper-text dataset with later backfill shards, then dedupes again on canonical_paper_id.

Use per-paper license filtering before broad downstream publication. Many arXiv records still carry nonexclusive-distrib rather than a general reuse license.

This release is capped deterministically at exactly 2000000 deduped papers. The selected inputs contained 2364986 deduped papers before applying the cap.
