Fine PT-PT Web: A High-Quality 41 Billion Tokens Data Collection of the European Portuguese Web
Abstract
A scalable pipeline curates a high-yield European Portuguese web corpus from 411 TB of raw data by removing boilerplate and duplicates early, improving document retention and quality for LLM pre-training.
Curating Web corpora for regional language variants like European Portuguese (PT-PT) is heavily bottlenecked by dialectal overlap (mainly with PT-BR) and data processing scale. This paper presents an efficient pipeline to curate a production-ready PT-PT corpus from the Portuguese Web, spanning 411 TB of raw data from Arquivo.pt. We introduce a novel post-scraping block that removes boilerplate and line duplicates prior to filtering. This early-stage intervention increases final document yield by 19.04% by rescuing valid text that standard heuristic filters prematurely discard. Integrated with rigorous language identification, weighted fuzzy deduplication, and neural quality classification, our pipeline offers a scalable framework and a clean, representative corpus optimized for LLM pre-training.
