Dataset Card for PDF Association dataset (PDFA)
Dataset Description
- Point of Contact from curators: Peter Wyatt, PDF Association CTO
- Point of Contact Hugging Face: Pablo Montalvo
Dataset Summary
PDFA dataset is a document dataset filtered from the SafeDocs corpus, aka CC-MAIN-2021-31-PDF-UNTRUNCATED, with 48 million pages kept as valid samples. Each document exists as a pairing of a pdf and a json file containing extensive OCR annotation as well as metadata information about rendering times. The filterings and packaging in webdataset format are tailored towards multimodal machine learning at scale, specifically image-to-text tasks.
In this dataset, an additional filtering has been done to restrict documents to the english language to 18.6 million pages over 2.16 million documents
Further, the metadata for each document has been formatted in the same way as https://huggingface.co/datasets/pixparse/IDL-wds
.
Usage
This instance of PDFA is in webdataset .tar format.
It can be used with webdataset library or current releases of Hugging Face datasets
library. It can also be streamed directly from the hub that way.
from datasets import load_dataset
pdfa_english = load_dataset('pixparse/pdfa-english-train', streaming=True)
print(next(iter(dataset['train'])).keys())
>> dict_keys(['__key__', '__url__', 'json', 'pdf'])
Further, a metadata file _pdfa-english-train-info-minimal.json
contains the list of samples per shard, with same basename and .json
or .pdf
extension,
as well as the count of files per shard.
