### Dataset Summary

This dataset contains several subsets for training multilingual tokenizers. Every subset possesses a collection of curated text samples in different languages. 

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset can be used for the task of text generation, specifically for training and evaluating tokenizers in multiple languages.

### Languages

Hindi, Bengali, English, Portuguese, and Code (a mixture of 36 programming languages).

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

The dataset consists of the following features:

- **text:** a string of text in the respective language of the subset.

### Data Fields

```json
{
  "text": "Olá, como vai você?"
}
```

### Subsets and Splits

The dataset includes the following subsets:

- **Portuguese:** This subset contains 2,000,000 text samples in Portuguese.
- **Hindi:** This subset contains 2,000,000 text samples in Hindi.
- **Bengali:** This subset contains 2,000,000 text samples in Bengali
- **English:** This subset contains 2,000,000 text samples in English.
- **Code:** This subset contains 975,000 text samples in various programming languages.

The `txt` files (e.g., [`hindi_test.txt`](hindi_test.txt)) are for testing/evaluation purposes.

### Dataset Creation

### Source Data

- **Bengali:** The Bengali text samples were sourced from [Polygl0t/gigakriya-v1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Polygl0t/gigakriya-v1).
- **English:** The English text samples were sourced from [HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu).
- **Hindi:** The Hindi text samples were sourced from [Polygl0t/gigalekh-v1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Polygl0t/gigalekh-v1).
- **Portuguese:** The Portuguese text samples were sourced from [Polygl0t/gigaverbo-v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Polygl0t/gigaverbo-v2).
- **Code:** The code samples were sourced from [bigcode/starcoderdata](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/starcoderdata).
