|
- **Language**: English |
|
|
- **Size**: ~133 MB (plain text) |
|
|
- **Format**: Plain text (.txt) |
|
|
- **License**: CC-BY-SA 4.0 (Wikipedia content license) |
|
|
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset is derived from English Wikipedia articles, cleaned and formatted for language model training. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
|
|
### Data Fields |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset consists of plain text files containing Wikipedia articles, with one article or paragraph per line. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Data Splits |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset is provided as a single text file without predefined splits. Users can create their own train/validation/test splits as needed. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
|
|
|
|
### Loading the Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
```python |
|
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
# Load the dataset |
|
|
dataset = load_dataset("adityasasidhar/Wikipedia_Cleaned") |
|
|
|
|
|
# Or load directly as text |
|
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
dataset = load_dataset("adityasasidhar/Wikipedia_Cleaned", split="train") |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### Example Use Case |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset was used to train a Small Language Model (SLM) with the following characteristics: |
|
|
- **Model Size**: 15.58M parameters |
|
|
- **Architecture**: Decoder-only Transformer |
|
|
- **Training**: Combined with TinyStories dataset for ~100M tokens total |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset was created to provide clean, factual English text for training small language models. Wikipedia provides high-quality, encyclopedic content that helps models learn proper grammar, factual knowledge, and formal writing style. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Source**: English Wikipedia |
|
|
- **Processing**: Cleaned and formatted for language model training |
|
|
- **Quality**: High-quality encyclopedic content |
|
|
|
|
|
## Considerations for Using the Data |
|
|
|
|
|
### Social Impact |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset contains factual, encyclopedic content from Wikipedia. Users should be aware that: |
|
|
- Wikipedia content reflects the biases and perspectives of its editors |
|
|
- The dataset is suitable for general language modeling tasks |
|
|
- For specific domains, additional fine-tuning may be necessary |
|
|
|
|
|
### Limitations |
|
|
|
|
|
- The dataset represents a snapshot of Wikipedia at a specific point in time |
|
|
- May not include the most recent information |
|
|
- Content is limited to English language articles |
|
|
