## Dataset Description

- **Point of Contact:** [Jón Friðrik Daðason](mailto:jond19@ru.is)

### Dataset Summary

The Icelandic Crawled Corpus (ICC) contains approximately 930M tokens which have been scraped from a selection of Icelandic websites, including news sites, government websites and forums. The scraped text is presented in its original form, unannotated, untokenized and without deduplication.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The ICC is primarily intended for use in training language models. It can be combined with other corpora, such as the [Icelandic Gigaword Corpus](http://igc.arnastofnun.is/) and the Icelandic portion of the [mC4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mc4) corpus.

### Languages

This corpus contains text in Icelandic, scraped from a variety of online sources.
