Dataset Summary
The OSCAR project (Open Super-large Crawled Aggregated coRpus) is an Open Source project aiming to provide web-based multilingual resources and datasets for Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. The project focuses specifically in providing large quantities of unannotated raw data that is commonly used in the pre-training of large deep learning models. The OSCAR project has developed high-performance data pipelines specifically conceived to classify and filter large amounts of web data. The project has also put special attention in improving the data quality of web-based corpora as well as providing data for low-resource languages, so that these new ML/AI technologies are accessible to as many communities as possible.
Colossal OSCAR 1 is the largest release of the OSCAR Corpus based on the based on 10 different monthly snapshots of Common Crawl. It currently contains all the features present in OSCAR 23.01, the main difference being its size.
Downloading the Data
For the moment we haven't finished the python script to use Colossal OSCAR 1 with datasets, so we recommend you use the huggingface_hub python library.
If you want to download a considerable amount of data we recomend you use hf_transfer python package and set the environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1.
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
OSCAR is mainly intended to pre-train language models and word representations.
Languages
All the data is distributed by language, both the original and the deduplicated versions of the data are available. 151 different languages are available. The table in subsection Data Splits Sample Size provides the language code for each subcorpus as well as the number of words (space separated tokens), lines and sizes for both the original and the deduplicated versions of OSCAR.
Issues
Colossal OSCAR 1 may have quality issues on low size subcorpora, as it has been the case before. Please consider taking a look at Quality at a Glance: An Audit of Web-Crawled Multilingual Datasets to get a better understanding of the current limitations of our language classifier.
Note that since the documents are identified as a whole, it is expected to have lines in other languages in a given language subcorpus. As an example, it is known and expected that the German subcorpus contains documents holding lines identified as Swiss German / Alemannic.
If you encounter something that is unexpected, please file an issue here: https://github.com/oscar-corpus/corpus/issues.

Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
OSCAR was constructed using Ungoliant, a new pipeline derived from goclassy, itself being derived from fastText's one.
The pipeline works on documents rather than lines.
Ungoliant is implemented in the Rust programming language, and uses rayon as its data parallelism strategy.
Threading is done at shard, record and sentence level, making the whole generation process much more efficient.
Filtering will be explained in a future blog post at our website
Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
Common Crawl is a non-profit foundation which produces and maintains an open repository of web crawled data that is both accessible and analysable. Common Crawl's complete web archive consists of petabytes of data collected over 8 years of web crawling. The repository contains raw web page HTML data (WARC files), metdata extracts (WAT files) and plain text extracts (WET files). The organization's crawlers has always respected nofollow and robots.txt policies.
Each monthly Common Crawl snapshot is in itself a massive multilingual corpus, where every single file contains data coming from multiple web pages written in a large variety of languages and covering all possible types of topics.
To construct OSCAR the WET files of Common Crawl were used. These contain the extracted plain texts from the websites mostly converted to UTF-8, as well as headers containing the metatada of each crawled document. Each WET file comes compressed in gzip format and is stored on Amazon Web Services. In the case of Colossal OSCAR 1 the following snapshots were used:
- 05-06-23
- 06-07-22
- 11-12-21
- 10-20
- 05-06-20
- 05-19
- 11-18
- 11-17
- 03-15

Personal and Sensitive Information
Being constructed from Common Crawl, Personal and sensitive information might be present. This must be considered before training deep learning models with OSCAR, specially in the case of text-generation models.
Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
OSCAR is intended to bring more data to a wide variety of languages, the aim of the corpus is to make large amounts of data available to lower resource languages in order to facilitate the pre-training of state-of-the-art language modeling architectures.
Discussion of Biases
OSCAR is not properly filtered yet and this can be reflected on the models trained with it. Care is advised specially concerning biases of the resulting models. We have added annotations to Common Crawl, so please consider using them to select the data that you would like to use for your particular use case.
Other Known Limitations
The fastText linear classifier is limed both in performance and the variety of languages it can recognize, so the quality of some OSCAR sub-corpora might be lower than expected, specially for the lowest-resource languages. Some audits have already been done by third parties.

And while there have been some recent attempts to manually curate the amount of data necessary to train large language models, the main way to obtain this data is still through automatic web crawling. In this paper we take the existing multilingual web corpus OSCAR and its pipeline Ungoliant that extracts and classifies data from Common Crawl at the line level, and propose a set of improvements and automatic annotations in order to produce a new document-oriented version of OSCAR that could prove more suitable to pre-train large generative language models as well as hopefully other applications in Natural Language Processing and Digital Humanities.",

abstract = {Since the introduction of large language models in Natural Language Processing, large raw corpora have played a crucial role in Computational Linguistics. However, most of these large raw corpora are either available only for English or not available to the general public due to copyright issues. Nevertheless, there are some examples of freely available multilingual corpora for training Deep Learning NLP models, such as the OSCAR and Paracrawl corpora. However, they have quality issues, especially for low-resource languages. Moreover, recreating or updating these corpora is very complex. In this work, we try to reproduce and improve the goclassy pipeline used to create the OSCAR corpus. We propose a new pipeline that is faster, modular, parameterizable, and well documented. We use it to create a corpus similar to OSCAR but larger and based on recent data. Also, unlike OSCAR, the metadata information is at the document level. We release our pipeline under an open source license and publish the corpus under a research-only license.},

abstract = "With the success of large-scale pre-training and multilingual modeling in Natural Language Processing (NLP), recent years have seen a proliferation of large, Web-mined text datasets covering hundreds of languages. We manually audit the quality of 205 language-specific corpora released with five major public datasets (CCAligned, ParaCrawl, WikiMatrix, OSCAR, mC4). Lower-resource corpora have systematic issues: At least 15 corpora have no usable text, and a significant fraction contains less than 50{\%} sentences of acceptable quality. In addition, many are mislabeled or use nonstandard/ambiguous language codes. We demonstrate that these issues are easy to detect even for non-proficient speakers, and supplement the human audit with automatic analyses. Finally, we recommend techniques to evaluate and improve multilingual corpora and discuss potential risks that come with low-quality data releases.",

We then compare the performance of OSCAR-based and Wikipedia-based ELMo embeddings for these languages on the part-of-speech tagging and parsing tasks. We show that, despite the noise in the Common-Crawl-based OSCAR data, embeddings trained on OSCAR perform much better than monolingual embeddings trained on Wikipedia. They actually equal or improve the current state of the art in tagging and parsing for all five languages. In particular, they also improve over multilingual Wikipedia-based contextual embeddings (multilingual BERT), which almost always constitutes the previous state of the art, thereby showing that the benefit of a larger, more diverse corpus surpasses the cross-lingual benefit of multilingual embedding architectures.",

abstract = {Common Crawl is a considerably large, heterogeneous multilingual corpus comprised of crawled documents from the internet, surpassing 20TB of data and distributed as a set of more than 50 thousand plain text files where each contains many documents written in a wide variety of languages. Even though each document has a metadata block associated to it, this data lacks any information about the language in which each document is written, making it extremely difficult to use Common Crawl for monolingual applications. We propose a general, highly parallel, multithreaded pipeline to clean and classify Common Crawl by language; we specifically design it so that it runs efficiently on medium to low resource infrastructures where I/O speeds are the main constraint. We develop the pipeline so that it can be easily reapplied to any kind of heterogeneous corpus and so that it can be parameterised to a wide range of infrastructures. We also distribute a 6.3TB version of Common Crawl, filtered, classified by language, shuffled at line level in order to avoid copyright issues, and ready to be used for NLP applications.},
