# HK Web Text Corpus (MySQL Dump, raw version)
## Dataset Description
- **Language:** Hong Kong Cantonese, Traditional Chinese
- **Size:** ~49.2 GB (MySQL), 11.1 GB (7z archive)
- **Format:** MySQL dump, UTF-8 encoding
- **Source:** public web sources (news sites, online forums, encyclopedia and restaurant reviews).
## Overview
⚠ This dataset provides the **MySQL dump file** which contains a large-scale raw text corpus collected from various Hong Kong public web sources, primarily focused on **Hong Kong Cantonese** and **Traditional Chinese** language usage.
It was used for generating Hong Kong Content Corpus, which was then used in the experiments reported in **https://doi.org/10.1145/3744341** to study the **effect of diglossia on Hong Kong language** modeling.
This MySQL database is intended **for archival and reproducibility purposes**, and may include noise, duplication, HTML markup, crawler residues, and records that were subsequently cleaned/filtered in the derived corpus release.
This dataset is also available at Zenodo as splited archive: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16875235

## Intended Uses
- Pretraining or fine-tuning AI language models
- Linguistic and sociolinguistic analysis
- Text mining research
NOTE: HKNSL became effective since 2020-6-30, which can create bias on user content created afterwards. Those portion of data should be used with caution.
