The English language has this property that the larger the dataset, the higher the average number of times a word appears in that dataset. Let FREQ denote the average number of times a token appears in a dataset. Low FREQ makes it hard for neural language models to do well on small datasets.
SimpleBooks is a small long-term dependency dataset that has the FREQ number equivalent to the 1 billion token dataset. Its small vocabulary size and small percentage of out-of-vocabulary words make it an ideal testbed and benchmark for word-level language modeling task and tutorials.
It was created from 1,573 Gutenberg books. They were selected out of 39,432 Gutenberg books using a hill-climbing algorithm to maximize FREQ.
SimpleBooks comes in two sizes:
- SimpleBooks-2 (11MB): 2.2M tokens with the vocab size of 11,492.
- SimpleBooks-92 (409MB): 92M tokens with the vocab size of 98,304.
Each size comes with the tokenized version (simplebooks-[2/92]) and a raw version that hasn't been tokenized (simplebooks-[2/92]-raw).

Bunny Rabbit 's <unk>

Bunny Rabbit 's <unk>
Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit and the three little rabbits lived in the woods .
Each little rabbit had a name .
There was Bunny Rabbit , <unk> Rabbit , and Billy Rabbit .
Bunny was full of fun , and liked to play tricks on his brothers .
<unk> liked to play with Bunny . He was always ready to join in all the fun .
But Billy was lazy . He did not like to work , and he did not like to play .
He liked to curl up in the tall grass and sleep .
The rabbits had many playmates in the woods and fields .
They played with the gray squirrels that lived in the big oak tree .
They played with the red squirrels that lived in the old stone wall .
Sometimes Bunny ran down to the brook to visit old Mr. Green Frog .
Sometimes he talked to Mrs. Duck , when she came to the brook to teach her little ones to swim .
There was always something to do ; and Bunny , and <unk> , and Billy were always doing something .
One Christmas Mrs. Rabbit gave Bunny a book .
She made it herself out of maple leaves .
She pinned the leaves together with thorns from the rose - bush that grew on the wall .
When Bunny saw the book he jumped up and down and clapped his hands .
" Oh , goody , goody ! " he said . " What a pretty book this is . "
" I will sit down on the old stump and read the stories this very minute . "
So Bunny sat down on the stump and opened his book .
He opened the book and looked at the first leaf .
There was no story to read .
He looked at the next leaf .
There was no story to read .
He turned one leaf and then another .
They were all alike .
There was not a story in the book , and Bunny could not find one picture .
" This is a funny book , " he said to himself . " I will run and ask Mother Rabbit what kind of a book this is . "
So Bunny jumped off the stump and ran to find Mother Rabbit .
