+ # Data Augmentations for Data-Constrained Language Model Pretraining
7
+
8
+ This repository contains the dataset shards used in the paper "[Data Augmentations for Data-Constrained Language Model Pretraining](https://huggingface.co/papers/2606.16246)".
9
+
10
+ The dataset consists of approximately 75 million tokens from **DCLM-RefinedWeb**, specifically curated to investigate data augmentation as a regularizer in data-constrained, multi-epoch pretraining regimes.

+ ## Dataset Summary
18
+
19
+ The dataset was used to train a 150M-parameter Llama-based model for 100 epochs. It is organized into processed JSONL shards:
20
+ - **Training data:** `shard_XXXXXXXX_processed.jsonl` files (approximately 75M tokens).
21
+ - **Validation data:** `val_shard_00000000_processed.jsonl`.
22
+
23
+ The researchers used this data to evaluate three categories of augmentations:
24
+ 1. **Token-level noise:** Masking or random token replacement.
25
+ 2. **Sequence permutations:** Right-to-left prediction and Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM).
26
+ 3. **Target offset prediction:** Predicting $x_{t+i}$ for $i > 1$.

+

+ For detailed information on how to use these shards with the official pretraining scripts, please refer to the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/michaelchen-lab/data-augmentations-for-pretraining).
