### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
The Multi_Legal_Pile is a large-scale multilingual legal dataset suited for pretraining language models. |
|
It spans over 24 languages and five legal text types. This version only contains data permissively licensed for commercial use. |
|
|
|
### 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: |
|
type -> language -> jurisdiction.jsonl.xz |
|
|
|
type is one of the following: |
|
|
|
- caselaw |
|
- contracts |
|
- legislation |
|
- other |
|
- legal_mc4 |
|
|
|
`legal_mc4` is a subset of the other type but is listed separately so it can be easily excluded since it is less |
|
permissively licensed than the other types. |
|
|
|
Use the dataset like this: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
|
config = 'en_contracts' # {language}_{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 one split available ("train"). |
|
|
|
The complete dataset (689GB) consists of four large subsets: |
|
|
|
- Native Multi Legal Pile (112GB) |
|
- Eurlex Resources (179GB) |
|
- Legal MC4 (106GB) |
|
- Pile of Law (292GB) |
|
|
