TabLib Sample

NOTE: This is a 0.1% sample of the full TabLib dataset.

TabLib is a minimally-preprocessed dataset of 627M tables (69 TiB) extracted from HTML, PDF, CSV, TSV, Excel, and SQLite files from GitHub and Common Crawl.

This includes 867B tokens of "context metadata": each table includes provenance information and table context such as filename, text before/after, HTML metadata, etc.

For more information, read the paper & announcement blog.

Dataset Details

Sources

  • GitHub: nearly all public GitHub repositories
  • Common Crawl: the CC-MAIN-2023-23 crawl

Reading Tables

Tables are stored as serialized Arrow bytes in the arrow_bytes column. To read these, you will need to deserialize the bytes:

import datasets
import pyarrow as pa

# load a single file of the dataset
ds = datasets.load_dataset(
    'approximatelabs/tablib-v1-sample',
    token='...',
)

df = ds['train'].to_pandas()

tables = [pa.RecordBatchStreamReader(b).read_all() for b in df['arrow_bytes']]
