### Dataset Summary
The Multi_Legal_Pile is a large-scale multilingual legal dataset suited for pretraining language models.
It spans over 24 languages and four legal text types.
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
The dataset supports the tasks of fill-mask.
### Languages
The following languages are supported:
bg, cs, da, de, el, en, es, et, fi, fr, ga, hr, hu, it, lt, lv, mt, nl, pl, pt, ro, sk, sl, sv
## Dataset Structure
It is structured in the following format: {language}_{text_type}_{shard}.jsonl.xz
text_type is one of the following:
- caselaw
- contracts
- legislation
- other
- wikipedia
Use the dataset like this:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
config = 'en_contracts' # {language}_{text_type}
dataset = load_dataset('joelito/Multi_Legal_Pile', config, split='train', streaming=True)
```
'config' is a combination of language and text_type, e.g. 'en_contracts' or 'de_caselaw'.
To load all the languages or all the text_types, use 'all' instead of the language or text_type (e.g., '
all_legislation').
### Data Instances
The file format is jsonl.xz and there is a `train` and `validation` split available.
Since some configurations are very small or non-existent, they might not contain a train split or not be present at all.
The complete dataset consists of five large subsets:
- [Native Multi Legal Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/joelito/Multi_Legal_Pile)
- [Eurlex Resources](https://huggingface.co/datasets/joelito/eurlex_resources)
- [MC4 Legal](https://huggingface.co/datasets/joelito/mc4_legal)
- [Pile of Law](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pile-of-law/pile-of-law)
- [EU Wikipedias](https://huggingface.co/datasets/joelito/EU_Wikipedias)

## Dataset Creation
This dataset has been created by combining the following datasets:
Native Multi Legal Pile, Eurlex Resources, MC4 Legal, Pile of Law, EU Wikipedias.
It has been filtered to remove short documents (less than 64 whitespace-separated tokens) and
documents with more than 30% punctuation or numbers (see prepare_legal_data.py for more details).
