MAP-CC

An open-source Chinese pretraining dataset with a scale of 800 billion tokens, offering the NLP community high-quality Chinese pretraining data.

Disclaimer

This model, developed for academic purposes, employs rigorously compliance-checked training data to uphold the highest standards of integrity and compliance. Despite our efforts, the inherent complexities of data and the broad spectrum of model applications prevent us from ensuring absolute accuracy or appropriateness of the model outputs in every scenario.

It is essential to highlight that our model and its associated training data are intended solely for scholarly research. We explicitly disclaim any liability for problems that may arise from improper use, interpretation errors, unlawful activities, the dissemination of false information, or any data security issues related to the utilization of our model or its training data.

We strongly encourage users to report any concerns related to data misuse, security breaches, or potential infringement issues directly to us for immediate investigation and resolution.

Our commitment to responsible data sharing and the security of our academic tools is paramount. We thank you for your cooperation in maintaining the ethical use of this technology.

Usage Instructions

After downloading the parts of the dataset, you can concatenate them into a single file for each split of the dataset using the following command in a UNIX-like terminal:

cat [split].gz.part* > [split].gz

Replace [split] with the name of the dataset component you wish to merge (zh-cc, zh-baike, zh-papers, zh-books, or zh-others). After merging, decompress the .gz file to access the dataset's content.

Dataset Composition

The dataset consists of several components, each originating from different sources and serving various purposes in language modeling and processing. Below is a brief overview of each component:

Dataset Image zh-cc (Chinese Common Crawl)
Extracts from the Common Crawl project specifically filtered for Chinese content. This component is rich in diverse internet text, ranging from websites, blogs, news articles, and more.

zh-baike (Chinese Encyclopedias)
A collection of articles from various Chinese encyclopedias, similar to Wikipedia but including other encyclopedic sources as well.

zh-papers (Chinese Academic Papers)
This component consists of academic and research papers published in Chinese. It covers a wide range of disciplines and offers technical, domain-specific language.
