Dataset Card for the_pile_WordPiecex32768_97b8e776baafb99c3892e6572a9f51b3

This is a preprocessed, tokenized dataset for the cramming-project.

Use only with the tokenizer uploaded here. This version is 97b8e776baafb99c3892e6572a9f51b3, which corresponds to a specific dataset construction setup, described below. The raw data source is the Pile, a 825 GiB diverse, open source language modelling data set that consists of 22 smaller, high-quality datasets combined together.

Languages

This dataset is in tokenized English (EN).

Considerations for Using the Data

Limitations and bias: This training data was further filtered and sorted beyond the normal preprocessing. These modifications were not tested for unintended consequences.
