This repository contains a snapshot of the English subset of the Project Gutenberg corpus (containing ~59K documents in total), downloaded in September 2024, preprocessed with code from this repository, and reformatted to make it easier to use with the load_dataset interface of Hugging Face's datasets library.

In addition to the full dataset (under the directory eminorhan/gutenberg_en_sep24/all), I also provide two random subsets of the data containing roughly 10M and 100M words (corresponding to 275 and ~1.6K documents, respectively). These subsets are intended to be used for the BabyLM challenge.

You can load these datasets as follows:

from datasets import load_dataset

ds_10M = load_dataset("eminorhan/gutenberg_en_sep24", "10M")  # 10M word subset (275 documents)

ds_100M = load_dataset("eminorhan/gutenberg_en_sep24", "100M")  # 100M word subset (~1.6K documents)

ds_all = load_dataset("eminorhan/gutenberg_en_sep24", "all")  # the full data (~59K documents)

Both subsets come with train/validation splits, whereas the full data only has a train split.
