Regarding the training data and replicability

Are the checkpoint here from Google and trained with Google's data (which they never shared)? Or do the checkpoints actually come from training on the Wikipedia and BookCorpus that is publicly available on HuggingFace ?
In order words, will I be able to replicate this checkpoint by training on https://huggingface.co./datasets/wikipedia and https://huggingface.co./datasets/bookcorpus?

This is the original checkpoint released by Google in their paper.

Under 3.1 we see the following:

@lysandre yes, but there is also this excerpt (image below) which suggests the Wiki and BookCorpus that are on HuggingFace are not identical to the one the Google team used; hence the question about replicability.

@siarez yes you are right. This model is not fully replicable by https://huggingface.co./datasets/wikipedia and https://huggingface.co./datasets/bookcorpus which are not the datasets pre-processed by Google
