Dataset Card for Dataset Name
This is 94 fictional works written by Robert E Howard.
Dataset Details
Dataset Description
This is 94 fictional works written by Robert E Howard. It includes all the stories/novellas/novels I could find by Robert E Howard that are in the public domain, minus the Breckenridge Elkins stories. I didn't want the extreme dialect/slang in those to affect any models trained on this.
This second version of the dataset is to more closely match the style of the "chosen" (read: original from the book) texts in gutenberg-dpo-v0.1
At some point, I will update and release a third version, maybe as a second dataset, that fully matches the schema of gutenberg-dpo-v0.1.

Dataset Sources [optional]
Dataset created by pulling public domain text from gutenberg.org and wikisource.org, and then cleaning it up and merging it.
Uses
Train an LLM
Dataset Structure
Each story, novella, or novel was split into chunks by switching all the scene breaks to chapter breaks, then splitting by chapter. Then each chunk had all newline characters removed to have each one on one line, then <|endoftext|> separating lines.

Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
Every public domain Robert E. Howard story I could find, except for the Breckenridge Elkins ones. Those ones have a ton of slang and dialect that I wouldn't want creeping in to text generations.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Text generated with an LLM based on this might be too awesome.
