### Dataset Summary | |
The Spanish Billion Words Corpus is an unannotated Spanish corpus of nearly 1.5 billion words, compiled from different resources from the web. | |
This resources include the spanish portions of SenSem, the Ancora Corpus, some OPUS Project Corpora and the Europarl, | |
the Tibidabo Treebank, the IULA Spanish LSP Treebank, and dumps from the Spanish Wikipedia, Wikisource and Wikibooks. | |
This corpus is a compilation of 100 text files. Each line of these files represents one of the 50 million sentences from the corpus. | |
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
This dataset can be used for language modelling and for pretraining language models. | |
### Languages | |
The text in this dataset is in Spanish, BCP-47 code: 'es'. | |
## Dataset Structure | |
### Data Instances | |
Each example in this dataset is a sentence in Spanish: | |
``` | |
{'text': 'Yo me coloqué en un asiento próximo a una ventana cogí un libro de una mesa y empecé a leer'} | |
``` | |
### Data Fields | |
- `text`: a sentence in Spanish | |
### Data Splits | |
The dataset is not split. | |
## Dataset Creation | |
### Curation Rationale | |
The Spanish Billion Words Corpus was created to train word embeddings using the word2vect algorithm provided by the gensim package. | |
### Source Data | |
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization | |
The corpus was created compiling the following resources: | |
- The Spanish portion of [SenSem](). | |
- The Spanish portion of the [Ancora Corpus](http://clic.ub.edu/corpus/en). | |
- [Tibidabo Treebank and IULA Spanish LSP Treebank](http://lod.iula.upf.edu/resources/metadata_TRL_Tibidabo_LSP_treebank_ES). | |
- The Spanish portion of the following [OPUS Project](http://opus.nlpl.eu/index.php) Corpora: | |
- The [books](http://opus.nlpl.eu/Books.php) aligned by [Andras Farkas](https://farkastranslations.com/). | |
- The [JRC-Acquis](http://opus.nlpl.eu/JRC-Acquis.php) collection of legislative text of the European Union. | |
- The [News Commentary](http://opus.nlpl.eu/News-Commentary.php) corpus. | |
- The [United Nations](http://opus.nlpl.eu/UN.php) documents compiled by [Alexandre Rafalovitch](https://www.outerthoughts.com/) and [Robert Dale](http://web.science.mq.edu.au/~rdale/). | |
- The Spanish portion of the [Europarl](http://statmt.org/europarl/) (European Parliament), compiled by [Philipp Koehn](https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/pkoehn/). | |
- Dumps from the Spanish [Wikipedia](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portada), [Wikisource](https://es.wikisource.org/wiki/Portada) and [Wikibooks](https://es.wikibooks.org/wiki/Portada) on date 2015-09-01, parsed with the Wikipedia Extractor. | |
All the annotated corpora (like Ancora, SenSem and Tibidabo) were untagged and | |
the parallel corpora (most coming from the OPUS Project) was preprocessed to obtain only the Spanish portions of it. | |
Once the whole corpus was unannotated, all non-alphanumeric characters were replaced with whitespaces, | |
all numbers with the token “DIGITO” and all the multiple whitespaces with only one whitespace. | |
The capitalization of the words remained unchanged. | |
#### Who are the source language producers? | |
The data was compiled and processed by Cristian Cardellino. | |
### Annotations | |
The dataset is unannotated. | |
