- Deduplication on exact URL match
- Filtering using subset C4 heuristic: removed pages containing
javascript,lorem ipsum, and curly braces. - Filtering using Gopher quality and duplication heuristics.
- Dolma repetition heuristics: removed of documents containing more than than repeated n-grams.
- Removed any page with non-commercial (NC) or no-derivatives (ND) variants of Creative Common licenses.
