|
## 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 |
