Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

The Danish dynaword is a continually developed collection of Danish free-form text datasets from various domains. It is intended to be continually updated with new data sources. If you would like to contribute a dataset see the contribute section

Loading the dataset

from datasets import load_dataset

name = "danish-foundation-models/danish-dynaword"
ds = load_dataset(name, split = "train")
sample = ds[1] # see "Data Instances" below

or load it by streaming the data

ds = load_dataset(name, split = "train", streaming=True)
dataset_iter = iter(ds)
sample = next(iter(dataset_iter))

You can also load a single subset at a time:

ds = load_dataset(name, "adl", split = "train")

As Danish Dynaword is continually expanding and curated you can make sure that you get the same dataset every time by specifying the revision: You can also load a single subset at a time:

ds = load_dataset(name, revision="{desired revision}")

Languages:

This dataset includes the following languages:

• dan-Latn
• dan-Latn-bornholm
• dan-Latn-synnejyl

Language is denoted using BCP-47, using the langauge code ISO 639-3 and the script code ISO 15924. The last element denote the region variant.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

These datasets were collected and curated with the intention of making large quantities of Danish text data available. While this was collected with the intention of developing language models it is likely to have multiple other uses such as examining language development and differences across domains.

Annotations

This data generally contains no annotation besides the metadata attached to each sample such as what domain it belongs to.
