| # The Corpus Kirkensis |
|
|
|  |
|
|
| The Corpus Kirkensis is a dataset almost fully made up of Libre content, with its few probable |
| non-permissively-licensed texts falling under the copyright exceptions for short matter-of-fact statement and mathematical formulas. It is |
| intended to help address two issues in the LLM space: data provenance and the lack of interesting output generation. It is the anti-slopper's |
| dataset. |
|
|
| It was not created with the intent to expand models' world knowledge or to provide them with factual information, and instead features texts |
| that help generate incoherent, spiritualistic, and fiction-inspired noise. Many of its main sources are internet communities which engage |
| in role-play or insist on pushing a counter-narrative in spite of logical flaws. |
|
|
| As this collection was created for experimentation in training tiny language models, it also contains some factual content, mainly mathematical |
| papers and code, though it also features a small amount of content about numerology, as a treat. |

| ## Size |
|
|
| How many tokens? How many tokens? I want tokens, how many tokens are there? How much data can I extract from this? If each token |
| was a piece of paper how many trees could I kill? Can you please tell me how many tokens are in this dataset? My company is forcing |
| me to tokenmaxx and I need to waste their money by doing text processing on a useless dataset so can you please tell me how many tokens |
| there are? |
|
|
| A little more or less than 1 billion, depending on the specific vocabulary you're using. |
