Datasets:
what is the meaning of snapshots in redpajama-data-v2?
hi, i'm confusing about meaning of snapshot
please let me know..
Hi @choidonghun ,
A snapshot refers to a point in time where Common Crawl crawled the web. So, for example, the "snapshot" 2023-14 corresponds to the week in which the raw data was released by CommonCrawl (week 14 of 2023). For this particular snapshot the data was crawled between March 20 and April 2 (see here for their announcement).
The RedPajama dataset is based on data provided in 84 such snapshots, which we ran through the ccnet pipeline.
I hope this clarifies things!
Snapshot is like a backup or copy of a specific point in time and saves all your configurations and settings so that if everything is running smoothly at that point then you can create a snapshot to mark a good point in time.
