The Nordic Pile

The Nordic Pile replication code

The Nordic Pile is a repository with the aim of providing tools and code to download and replicate a large nordic language dataset. The dataset consists of many smaller datasets combined together. With the objective to cover a broad set of language modalities.

Workflow

To propose a new dataset be added to the Nordic Pile, open an issue. Your issue should include a description of the dataset, its size, what language(s) it is in, a link to the data, and any other relevant information. If a project manger approves your proposal, they will change its label to and add it to . Datasets that we elect to not include in the current version of the Pile will receive a or label. We will now focus on datasets in the languages of the nordics: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish.

To claim responsibility for implementing an unclaimed dataset, leave a comment on one of our unassigned issues. Once a dataset has been assigned to you, make the necessary changes to datasets.py and pile.py in a fork and submit a pull request. If you require, you can also submit a script for processing the data as shown here.

To raise an issue that is not proposing a new dataset, open an issue with the tag or as appropriate.

Data ready for final implementation should meet the following criteria:

• The data must be in lm_dataformat format.
• The data must be shuffled.
