llm-datasets

llm-datasets is a collection of datasets for language model training including scripts for downloading, preprocesssing, and sampling.

The documentation is available here.

Quick start

Installation

Install the llm-datasets package with pip:

pip install llm-datasets

In order to keep the package minimal by default, llm-datasets comes with optional dependencies useful for some use cases. For example, if you want to have the text extraction for all available datasets, run:

pip install llm-datasets[datasets]

Download and text extraction

To download and extract the plain-text of one or more datasets, run the following command:

llm-datasets extract_text $DATASET_ID $OUTPUT_DIR

By default, output is saved as JSONL files. To change the output format, you can use the --output_format argument as below:

llm-datasets extract_text $DATASET_ID $OUTPUT_DIR --output_format parquet  --output_compression zstd

Available datasets

A list or table with all available datasets can be print with the follow command:

llm-datasets print_stats --print_output md

Dataset viewer

We provide a Web-based application through streamlit to browse all datasets and their contained text content. To start the app, first clone this repository, install dependencies, and run the following command:

# clone is needed since streamlit does not support apps from modules yet
git clone https://github.com/malteos/llm-datasets.git

streamlit run src/lm_datasets/viewer/app.py -- \
    --raw_datasets_dir=$RAW_DATASETS_DIR \
    --output_dir=$PROCESSED_DATASET_DIR

Development & Contributions

Setup environment

To setup, your local development environment we recommend conda and cloning the repository. The repository also includes settings and launch scripts for VSCode.

git clone git@github.com:malteos/llm-datasets.git
cd llm-datasets

conda create -n llm-datasets python=3.10
conda activate llm-datasets

pip install -r requirements.txt

Alternatively, you can install the Python package directly from the dev branch:

pip install git+https://github.com/malteos/llm-datasets.git@dev

Install the pre-commit hooks

This repository uses git hooks to validate code quality and formatting.

pre-commit install
git config --bool flake8.strict true  # Makes the commit fail if flake8 reports an error

To run the hooks:

pre-commit run --all-files

Testing

The tests can be executed with:

pytest --doctest-modules --cov-report term --cov=llm_datasets
