SEACrowd/cc100

This corpus is an attempt to recreate the dataset used for training XLM-R. This corpus comprises of monolingual data for 100+ languages and also includes data for romanized languages (indicated by *_rom). This was constructed using the urls and paragraph indices provided by the CC-Net repository by processing January-December 2018 Commoncrawl snapshots. Each file comprises of documents separated by double-newlines and paragraphs within the same document separated by a newline. The data is generated using the open source CC-Net repository. No claims of intellectual property are made on the work of preparation of the corpus.

Dataset Usage

Using datasets library

from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/cc100", trust_remote_code=True)

Using seacrowd library

# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("cc100", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("cc100"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")

    at scale leads to significant performance gains for a wide range of
    cross-lingual transfer tasks. We train a Transformer-based masked language
    model on one hundred languages, using more than two terabytes of filtered
    CommonCrawl data. Our model, dubbed XLM-R, significantly outperforms
    multilingual BERT (mBERT) on a variety of cross-lingual benchmarks,
    including +14.6{%} average accuracy on XNLI, +13{%} average F1 score on
    MLQA, and +2.4{%} F1 score on NER. XLM-R performs particularly well on
    low-resource languages, improving 15.7{%} in XNLI accuracy for Swahili and
    11.4{%} for Urdu over previous XLM models. We also present a detailed
    empirical analysis of the key factors that are required to achieve these
    gains, including the trade-offs between (1) positive transfer and capacity
    dilution and (2) the performance of high and low resource languages at
    scale. Finally, we show, for the first time, the possibility of
    multilingual modeling without sacrificing per-language performance; XLM-R
    is very competitive with strong monolingual models on the GLUE and XNLI
    benchmarks. We will make our code and models publicly available.",
