### Dataset Summary
Wikipedia dataset containing cleaned articles of all languages.
The datasets are built from the Wikipedia dump
(https://dumps.wikimedia.org/) with one split per language. Each example
contains the content of one full Wikipedia article with cleaning to strip
markdown and unwanted sections (references, etc.).
The articles are parsed using the ``mwparserfromhell`` tool.
To load this dataset you need to install Apache Beam and ``mwparserfromhell`` first:
```
pip install apache_beam mwparserfromhell
```
Then, you can load any subset of Wikipedia per language and per date this way:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
load_dataset("wikipedia", language="sw", date="20220120", beam_runner=...)
```
where you can pass as `beam_runner` any Apache Beam supported runner for (distributed) data processing
(see [here](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runners/capability-matrix/)).
Pass "DirectRunner" to run it on your machine.
You can find the full list of languages and dates [here](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html).
Some subsets of Wikipedia have already been processed by HuggingFace, and you can load them just with:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
load_dataset("wikipedia", "20220301.en")
```
The list of pre-processed subsets is:
- "20220301.de"
- "20220301.en"
- "20220301.fr"
- "20220301.frr"
- "20220301.it"
- "20220301.simple"
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
The dataset is generally used for Language Modeling.
### Languages
You can find the list of languages [here](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias).
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
An example looks as follows:
```
{'id': '1',
'url': 'https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/April',
'title': 'April',
'text': 'April is the fourth month...'
}
```
Some subsets of Wikipedia have already been processed by HuggingFace, as you can see below:
