## TokenMonster Datasets: English, Code, Fiction, Non-fiction

Included are datasets that were used to generate the TokenMonster pre-built vocabularies. All are raw text files.

The training data mostly came from Red Pajamas [1B Token Sample](https://huggingface.co/datasets/togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-1T-Sample). However, to reduce formal English and emphasize other languages, informal writing and code, c4_sample & cc_sample were cropped to 100MB, and [Reddit conversations](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SophieTr/reddit_clean) data were added (also cropped to 100MB.)

Additionally, equally weighted `code` samples of 2MB per language (code_2mb) and 10MB per language (code_10mb) were added for 30 different programming languages to ensure all programming languages have representation. The source of the `code` samples was [codeparrot/github-code](https://huggingface.co/datasets/codeparrot/github-code). To ensure a range of coding styles, I allowed only 1 file per GitHub repository, and per file a maximum of 200 lines selected from the middle of the file.

Given the evolving nature of writing styles, I felt that `book_sample.txt`, which consists of out-of-copyright books, was not a good representation of contemporary fiction. To better represent a more modern style, I curated `fiction.txt` and `fiction_100mb.txt` by throwing together a few other datasets and cleaning it up.

| Filename                 | Filesize  |
|--------------------------|-----------|
| arxiv_sample.txt         | 88,925,569  |
| book_sample.txt          | 108,069,616 |
| c4_sample.txt            | 100,560,318 |
| cc_2023-06_sample.txt    | 100,852,231 |
| code_2mb.txt             | 62,895,904  |
| code_10mb.txt            | 314,006,799 |
| fiction.txt              | 357,119,086 |
| fiction_100mb.txt        | 94,235,489  |
| github_sample.txt        | 191,123,094 |
| stackexchange_sample.txt | 71,940,138  |
| wikipedia_sample.txt     | 79,181,873  |
| reddit.txt               | 100,027,565 |

Note: `fiction_100mb.txt` is a subset of `fiction.txt`, and `code_2mb.txt` is a subset of `code_10mb.txt`.
