### Dataset Summary
This dataset is a version of the BookCorpus available at [https://huggingface.co/datasets/bookcorpusopen](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bookcorpusopen) with examples rendered as images with resolution 16x8464 pixels.
The original BookCorpus was introduced by Zhu et al. (2015) in [Aligning Books and Movies: Towards Story-Like Visual Explanations by Watching Movies and Reading Books](https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.06724) and contains 17868 books of various genres. The rendered BookCorpus was used to train the [PIXEL](https://huggingface.co/Team-PIXEL/pixel-base) model introduced in the paper [Language Modelling with Pixels](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.06991) by Phillip Rust, Jonas F. Lotz, Emanuele Bugliarello, Elizabeth Salesky, Miryam de Lhoneux, and Desmond Elliott.
The BookCorpusOpen dataset was rendered book-by-book into 5.4M examples containing approximately 1.1B words in total. The dataset is stored as a collection of 162 parquet files. It was rendered using the script openly available at [https://github.com/xplip/pixel/blob/main/scripts/data/prerendering/prerender_bookcorpus.py](https://github.com/xplip/pixel/blob/main/scripts/data/prerendering/prerender_bookcorpus.py). The text renderer uses a PyGame backend and a collection of merged Google Noto Sans fonts. The PyGame backend does not support complex text layouts (e.g. ligatures and right-to-left scripts) or emoji, so occurrences of such text in the BookCorpus have not been rendered accurately.
Each example consists of a "pixel_values" field which stores a 16x8464 (height, width) grayscale image containing the rendered text, and an integer value "num_patches" which stores how many image patches (when splitting the image into 529 non-overlapping patches of resolution 16x16 pixels) in the associated images contain actual text, i.e. are neither blank (fully white) nor are the fully black end-of-sequence patch.
The rendered BookCorpus can be loaded via the datasets library as follows:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
# Download the full dataset to disk
load_dataset("Team-PIXEL/rendered-bookcorpus", split="train")
# Stream the dataset directly from the hub
load_dataset("Team-PIXEL/rendered-bookcorpus", split="train", streaming=True)
```
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 63.58 GB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 63.59 GB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 127.17 GB
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
{
"pixel_values": <PIL.PngImagePlugin.PngImageFile image mode=L size=8464x16
"num_patches": "498"
}
```
### Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.
- `pixel_values`: an `Image` feature.
- `num_patches`: a `Value(dtype="int64")` feature.
