We have recently hosted the data files of this dataset in the Hugging Face Hub, and changed their format to JSON Lines (instead of JSON): see https://huggingface.co/datasets/biomrc/discussions/2

This way:

  • loading the dataset requires much less RAM memory
  • the preview of the dataset works as expected
    • currently it shows this error for large files: zlib.error: Error -3 while decompressing data: invalid stored block lengths

This PR adapts the loading script so that it:

  • uses the data files in the Hub
  • loads them properly as JSON Lines
