Installation

The package is available on PyPI, so you can install the package using your favourite package manager. For instance, pip install nlp_dedup or poetry add nlp_dedup.

Quick start

If the corpus is stored as corpus.txt (both txt and jsonl files are supported), the following deduplicates the corpus and stores the deduplicates corpus into the folder deduplicated:

$ dedup corpus.txt deduplicated

This defaults to deduplicating based on blocks of 13 consecutive words, where two documents are considered near-duplicate if they have more than 80% of these blocks in common. This can all be changed to your specific needs, however.

See $ dedup --help for more information on all the settings.
