TurMix ([https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.18834](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.18834)) is a Turkish pretraining corpus containing 168 billion tokens across 219 million documents (in the minhash subset). Rather than scraping the web again, TurMix combines five publicly available Turkish datasets, applies Turkish-specific quality filtering, and performs cross-dataset deduplication.

We train a 1.4B parameter language model through nanotron on 30 billion tokens to show that the `matched` subset of TurMix outperforms the previous state-of-the-art, [FineWeb-2 Turkish](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2) (see [Appendix A9 in the Fineweb-2 paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.20920)), achieving a 5.5% relative improvement. Furthermore, the `minhash_deduped` subset performs competitively with over 2× the total number of tokens.

## Subsets

| Subset | Documents | Tokens | Description |
|--------|-----------|--------|-------------|
| `quality_filtered` | 394.0M | 307.2B | Quality-filtered data before deduplication |
| `minhash_deduped` | 219.1M | 167.6B | Document-level MinHash deduplication |
| `matched` | 67.6M | 56.0B | Documents appearing in 2+ source datasets |

The matched subset uses cross-dataset agreement as a signal for quality.

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("AdaMLLab/TurMix", "minhash_deduped")
ds = load_dataset("AdaMLLab/TurMix", "quality_filtered")
ds = load_dataset("AdaMLLab/TurMix", "matched")
```

## Sources

Tokens were counted using `meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B`'s tokenizer.

| Source | Tokens (MinHash) | Documents (MinHash) |
|--------|------------------|---------------------|
| HPLT 2.0 | 46.0B | 53.7M |
| FineWeb-2 | 41.9B | 54.5M |
| CulturaX | 35.8B | 47.9M |
| C4 | 25.3B | 36.5M |
| VNGRS-Web | 18.7B | 26.5M |
| **Total** | **167.6B** | **219.1M** |

## Pipeline

1. Quality filtering with Turkish-specific thresholds (terminal punctuation, repetition patterns, Latin script ratio, language identification)
2. Document-level MinHash deduplication (5-gram shingles, 14 bands, 8 hashes per band, similarity threshold 0.8)
3. Cross-source matching to identify documents appearing in 2+ independent sources
