# Dataset Card for "wiki40b-da-clean"


### Dataset Summary

This dataset is an slightly modified and filtered version of [Wiki40b-da daset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/alexandrainst/wiki40b-da/) which is a fork of [this dataset on the Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wiki40b).

The dataset contains two sub-sets, for which the original columns "wikidata_id" and "version_id" are removed from both:
- "**text**": Contains the filtered text of the Wikipedia paragraphs, with formatting removed (_START_ARTICLE_, _START_PARAGRAPH_ and \n removed)
- "**sentences**" Contains the sentences from all the 'text' dataset, filtered to only include sentences >5 and <100 words (split after all punctuations (!,?,.) that is followed by a space and a capital letter)

The dataset is curated to use the "text" config for masked next token prediction (MNTP) and the sentences config for SimCSE in relation to training encoder and decoder models.

The training, validation and test splits are the original ones.


### Languages

The dataset is available in Danish (`da`).


## Dataset 

**text** (default)
