This corpus comprises of monolingual data for 100+ languages and also includes data for romanized languages (indicated by *_rom). This was constructed using the urls and paragraph indices provided by the CC-Net repository by processing January-December 2018 Commoncrawl snapshots. Each file comprises of documents separated by double-newlines and paragraphs within the same document separated by a newline. The data is generated using the open source CC-Net repository.

We train a Transformer-based masked language model on one hundred languages, using more than two terabytes of filtered CommonCrawl data. Our model, dubbed XLM-R, significantly outperforms multilingual BERT (mBERT) on a variety of cross-lingual benchmarks, including +14.6{%} average accuracy on XNLI, +13{%} average F1 score on MLQA, and +2.4{%} F1 score on NER. XLM-R performs particularly well on low-resource languages, improving 15.7{%} in XNLI accuracy for Swahili and 11.4{%} for Urdu over previous XLM models. We also present a detailed empirical analysis of the key factors that are required to achieve these gains, including the trade-offs between (1) positive transfer and capacity dilution and (2) the performance of high and low resource languages at scale. Finally, we show, for the first time, the possibility of multilingual modeling without sacrificing per-language performance; XLM-R is very competitive with strong monolingual models on the GLUE and XNLI benchmarks. We will make our code and models publicly available.\",\n}\n@inproceedings{wenzek-etal-2020-ccnet,\n title = \"{CCN}et: Extracting High Quality Monolingual Datasets from Web Crawl Data\",\n author = \"Wenzek, Guillaume and\n Lachaux, Marie-Anne and\n Conneau, Alexis and\n Chaudhary, Vishrav and\n Guzm{'a}n, Francisco and\n Joulin, Armand and\n Grave, Edouard\",\n booktitle = \"Proceedings of the 12th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference\",\n month = may,\n year = \"2020\",\n address = \"Marseille, France\",\n publisher = \"European Language Resources Association\",\n url = \"https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.lrec-1.494\",\n pages = \"4003--4012\",\n abstract = \"Pre-training text representations have led to significant improvements in many areas of natural language processing. The quality of these models benefits greatly from the size of the pretraining corpora as long as its quality is preserved. In this paper, we describe an automatic pipeline to extract massive high-quality monolingual datasets from Common Crawl for a variety of languages. Our pipeline follows the data processing introduced in fastText (Mikolov et al., 2017; Grave et al., 2018), that deduplicates documents and identifies their language. We augment this pipeline with a filtering step to select documents that are close to high quality corpora like Wikipedia.\",\n language = \"English\",\n ISBN = \"979-10-95546-34-4\",\n}\n", "homepage": "https://data.statmt.org/cc-100/", "license": "", "features": {"text": {"dtype": "string", "id": null, "_type": "Value"}}, "post_processed": null, "supervised_keys": null, "task_templates": null, "builder_name": "cc100", "config_name": "mr", "version": {"version_str": "0.0.0", "description": null, "major": 0, "minor": 0, "patch": 0}, "splits": {"train": {"name": "train", "num_bytes": 3047042445, "num_examples": 12232071, "dataset_name": "mr_cc100_processed"}}, "download_checksums": null, "download_size": 1177583085, "post_processing_size": null, "dataset_size": 3047042445, "size_in_bytes": 4224625530}} |
