| |
| ### Dataset Summary |
| |
| This dataset is one of the two datasets published by "Honey, I Shrunk the Language: Language Model Behavior at Reduced Scale" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17266). |
| The dataset available at this link is the pre-training data constrained by vocabulary. The other published data i.e. the pre-training data that is not constrained by vocabulary is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/text-machine-lab/unconstrained_language. |
|
|
| The vocabulary used for curating the data is constructed from the AOChildes corpus (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0079742121000256). The AOChildes corpus consists of transcripts of child-directed speech. Hence, the vocabulary constructed from AOChildes corpus consists of words spoken or heard by children of age six years or younger. |
|
|
| The vocabulary is then used to filter the widely used text corpora, |
| - C4: https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.10683, |
| - BookCorpus: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7410368, |
| - Wikipedia: https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikipedia, |
| - Simplified-Wikipedia: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, |
| - Children's Book Test Corpus: https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.02301 |
| |
| From the above corpora, only those spans are included that contain words only from the predefined vocabulary. The dataset includes 44 million sentences (~6 million sequences, each with ~128 tokens) and 3 million contiguous spans (each with ~128 tokens). Refer to Table 1 of the paper for data distribution over different corpora. |
| |
| ### Languages |
| |
| The dataset contains the English language only. |
| |
| ## Dataset Structure |
| |
| The dataset is available in the arrow dataset format with three splits namely, train, validation, and test. Every data instance has only one key "Text" that included a text span of approximately 128 tokens. |
