pretty_name: Red Pajama V2 Dataset

Getting Started

RedPajama-V2 is an open dataset for training large language models. The dataset includes over 100B text documents coming from 84 CommonCrawl snapshots and processed using the CCNet pipeline. Out of these, there are 30B documents in the corpus that additionally come with quality signals. In addition, we also provide the ids of duplicated documents which can be used to create a dataset with 20B deduplicated documents.

Check out our blog post for more details on the build process, dataset structure and schema.

A full set of scripts to recreate the dataset, including the quality signals, can be found here.

Downloading the raw Dataset with Quality Annotations

To familiarize yourself with the dataset, you can load the sample dataset using:

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-V2", name="sample")

To download a the dataset for a specific combination of {partition} x {snapshot_id} x {language}, you can use the following command which downloads the raw (i.e., not deduplicated) part of the dataset and the corresponding quality signals. In the example below, we use English and German data from the head_middle partition of the 2023-06 and the 2022-49 snapshots. The full set of available snapshots is specified in _CC_SNAPSHOT_IDS. The available partitions are tail and head_middle. The available language tags are en, de, fr, es, it. Note that this will download the entire snapshots specified in the snapshots argument and requires ~1TB of disk space per snapshot.

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-V2",
                  name="default",
                  partition="head_middle",
                  snapshots=["2023-06", "2022-49"],
                  languages=["en", "de"])

Downloading the dataset via wget

If you prefer to download the full dataset via wget, you can download the following lists of urls and use them to download the dataset:

# get list of urls pointing to the text documents
wget "https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0/urls/document-urls.txt" -O "document-urls.txt"

# get list of urls pointing to the quality signals
wget "https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0/urls/quality_signals-urls.txt" -O "quality_signals-urls.txt"

# get list of urls pointing to the ids of duplicate documents
wget "https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0/urls/duplicates-urls.txt" -O "duplicates-urls.txt"

# get list of urls pointing to the minhash signatures
wget "https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0/urls/minhash-urls.txt" -O "minhash-urls.txt"

You can also directly download subsets of the dataset using the following instructions. Here we use English data from the 2023-06 snapshot and the head_middle partition as an example. The full set of CC snapshots included in the dataset is given in _CC_SNAPSHOT_IDS. The available partitions are tail and head_middle. The available language tags are en, de, fr, es, it.

To download the plain text data, available for both the head_middle and tail partitions, you can run

CC_SNAPSHOT="2023-06"
LANG="en"
PARTITION="head_middle"
BASE_URL="https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0"

listings_tag="${LANG}-${CC_SNAPSHOT}-${PARTITION}"
mkdir listings
wget "${BASE_URL}/listings/${listings_tag}.txt" -O "listings/${listings_tag}.txt"
listings_file="listings/${listings_tag}.txt"

# download documents
while read line; do
  url="${BASE_URL}/documents/${line}.json.gz"
  dest="documents/${line}.json.gz"
  mkdir -p $(dirname $dest)
  wget "$url" -O "$dest"
done <"$listings_file"

In addition, for the head_middle partition, you can also download the quality signals, minhash signatures and duplicate ids using the following commands:

CC_SNAPSHOT="2023-06"
LANG="en"
BASE_URL="https://data.together.xyz/redpajama-data-v2/v1.0.0"

listings_tag="${LANG}-${CC_SNAPSHOT}-head_middle"
mkdir listings
wget "${BASE_URL}/listings/${listings_tag}.txt" -O "listings/${listings_tag}.txt"
listings_file="listings/${listings_tag}.txt"

# download quality signals
while read line; do
  url="${BASE_URL}/quality_signals/${line}.signals.json.gz"
  dest="quality_signals/${line}.signals.json.gz"
  mkdir -p $(dirname $dest)
  wget "$url" -O "$dest"
done <"$listings_file"


# download other components
COMPS=("minhash" "duplicates")
for comp in "${COMPS[@]}"; do
  while read line; do
    url="${BASE_URL}/${comp}/${line}.${comp}.parquet"
    dest="${comp}/${line}.${comp}.parquet"
    mkdir -p $(dirname $dest)
    wget "$url" -O "$dest"
  done <"$listings_file"
done

Applying Filtering Rules

You can use the quality signals to filter the raw RedPajama-V2 dataset for a given set of rules. For example, consider the following set of rules used in Gopher:

def gopher_rules_pass(sample) -> bool:
    """ function returns True if the sample complies with Gopher rules """
    signals = json.loads(sample["quality_signals"])

    # rule 1: number of words between 50 and 10'000
    word_count = signals["rps_doc_word_count"][0][2]
    if word_count < 50 or word_count > 100_000:
        return False

    # rule 2: mean word length between 3 and 10
    mean_word_length = signals["rps_doc_mean_word_length"][0][2]
    if mean_word_length < 3 or mean_word_length > 10:
        return False

    # rule 2: symbol to word ratio below 0.1
    symbol_word_ratio = signals["rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio"][0][2]
    if symbol_word_ratio > 0.1:
        return False

    # rule 3: 90% of lines need to start without a bullet point
    n_lines = signals["ccnet_nlines"][0][2]
    n_lines_bulletpoint_start = sum(map(lambda ln: ln[2], signals["rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint"]))
    if n_lines_bulletpoint_start / n_lines > 0.9:
        return False

    # rule 4: the ratio between characters in the most frequent 2-gram and the total number 
    # of characters must be below 0.2
    top_2_gram_frac = signals["rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram"][0][2]
    if top_2_gram_frac > 0.2:
        return False

    # rule 5: ...

    return True

Filtering the RedPajama-V2 dataset with this set of rules is then as easy as:

ds_iterator = load_dataset(
    "togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-V2",
    snapshots=["2023-14"],
    languages=["en"],
    name="default",
    streaming=True
)

filtered_dataset = []

for sample in ds_iterator["train"]:

    if not gopher_rules_pass(sample):
        continue

    filtered_dataset.append(sample)

  }
}

where signal scores are encoded as a list of tuples (start, end, score), where start and end are the locations in the raw_content string where the score applies.

Dataset Creation

The dataset is based on 84 snapshots provided by Common Crawl. Each snapshot was processed using the CCNet pipeline and split into head middle tail buckets, depending on the perplexity score. In a second step, the documents in the head and middle buckets were annotated with the quality signals described above. Finally, the documents were deduplicated based on the text, using a Bloomfilter. The duplicates were kept in the dataset, but are marked in the duplicates component.
