### Dataset Summary

This dataset contains large text resources (~106GB in total) from mc4 filtered for legal data that can be used for pretraining language models.

This dataset uses a different filtering method compared to [mc4_legal](https://huggingface.co/datasets/joelito/mc4_legal) and uses the smaller filtered [c4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/c4) dataset for the English split to speed up the filtering.

Use the dataset like this:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("joelito/mc4_legal", "de", split='train', streaming=True)
```

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset supports the task of masked language modeling.

### Languages

The following languages are supported: bg, cs, da, de, el, en, es, et, fi, fr, ga, hu, it, lt, lv, mt, nl, pl, pt, ro, sk, sl, sv

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

The file format is jsonl.xz and there is a validation and train split available.
