# cornstack-samples

🚧 This dataset is under active development and may change.

Filtered CoRNStack sample subsets for code retrieval training.

Source dataset and paper:
- CoRNStack collection: https://huggingface.co/collections/nomic-ai/cornstack
- CoRNStack paper: https://huggingface.co/papers/2412.01007

Note: the original CoRNStack collection is a much larger dataset family for code search training.
If you need large-scale data (not samples), please refer to the original CoRNStack collection above.

## What This Release Contains

This release keeps the original subset layout (6 languages x pair + hard-negatives) and applies deterministic rule-based filtering.

In this revision, query-level deduplication is also applied per subset: if `query` is duplicated, only the first row is kept.

## Config Layout And Schema

Each language is published as two configs with split `train`:
- `{lang}-v1-pair-2M`
- `{lang}-v1-hard-negatives-100k`

Schema:
- Pair configs: `query`, `pos`
- Hard-negative configs: `query`, `pos`, `negs` (list[string])

## Subsets And Row Counts (After Filter + Query Dedup)

Note: subset names keep the original `2M` / `100k` naming convention for compatibility, but
actual row counts vary by language and can be substantially lower after quality filtering and
query-level deduplication.

| Subset (config name) | split | num_examples |
| --- | --- | ---: |
| `go-v1-pair-2M` | `train` | 1,541,111 |
| `go-v1-hard-negatives-100k` | `train` | 87,647 |
| `java-v1-pair-2M` | `train` | 1,491,655 |
| `java-v1-hard-negatives-100k` | `train` | 81,657 |
| `javascript-v1-pair-2M` | `train` | 1,310,965 |
| `javascript-v1-hard-negatives-100k` | `train` | 79,684 |
| `php-v1-pair-2M` | `train` | 1,343,442 |
| `php-v1-hard-negatives-100k` | `train` | 75,632 |
| `python-v1-pair-2M` | `train` | 1,807,480 |
| `python-v1-hard-negatives-100k` | `train` | 97,147 |
| `ruby-v1-pair-2M` | `train` | 1,175,219 |
| `ruby-v1-hard-negatives-100k` | `train` | 68,382 |

Total rows:
- Pair: 8,669,872
- Hard-negatives: 490,149
- Overall: 9,160,021

## Quick Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

pair_ds = load_dataset("hotchpotch/cornstack-samples", "python-v1-pair-2M", split="train")
hard_ds = load_dataset("hotchpotch/cornstack-samples", "python-v1-hard-negatives-100k", split="train")

print(pair_ds.column_names, len(pair_ds))
print(hard_ds.column_names, len(hard_ds))
```

## Noise Filtering Algorithm (Rule-based)

The following deterministic rules are applied before publishing this release.

1. Prefix-based noisy query removal
A row is dropped if `query` starts with any of the following prefixes:
- `TODO`
- `GET /`
- `POST /`
- `PUT /`
- `DELETE /`
- `Display a listing of the resource.`
- `Store a newly created resource in storage.`
- `Show the form for editing the specified resource.`
- `Update the specified resource in storage.`
- `Show the form for creating a new resource.`
- `Remove the specified resource from storage.`
- `Display the specified resource.`
- `Transform the resource into an array.`
- `Autogenerated method stub`
- `Auto generated`
- `this down() migration is autogenerated`
- `this up() migration is autogenerated`
- `"/ renamed from:"`
- `"/ access modifiers changed from:"`

2. Minimum positive-document length
A row is dropped if the positive side text is shorter than 30 characters.
- Pair configs: `pos` length >= 30 required
- Hard-negative configs: `pos` length >= 30 required

3. Hard-negative validity constraint
For hard-negative configs, at least one valid negative must remain after normalization (`min_negs = 1`).

4. Query-level deduplication
Within each subset split, rows are grouped by exact `query` string.
- Keep the first occurrence
- Drop all later duplicates

This filtering is purely rule-based (no model scoring), targeting high-noise templates and low-information positives while preserving broad retrieval coverage.
