With less training data, the model requires shorter training times to achieve the same or even better accuracy. Deduplication also helps avoid train-test overlap, thereby improving evaluation metrics. Additionally, it reduces the risk of memorization [1]. Duplicate data can lead to a strong double descent phenomenon, where repeated data causes test loss to increase midway through training [2]. By implementing deduplication and selective upsampling, we gain control over the pretraining data distribution, rather than relying on the inherent distribution of the source, which is often the internet."),

This reduced the documents from 48.83 billion to 40.21 billion, removing about 17% as exact duplicates. This step used constant memory for the Bloom filter and lessened the workload for subsequent near-deduplication."),

This near-deduplication process involved generating signatures for every document, matching these signatures to identify near-duplicates, and then clustering the near-duplicate documents to select all but one for deletion. We choose a curated document over a Common Crawl document and later in time dump than an earlier dump when we choose the one document we keep between the matching cluster. Additionally, we maintained statistics about these matching clusters as they were formed during the final stage of deduplication. Below are the details of all four stages of our deduplication pipeline. We use Dask extensively throughout all stages of the deduplication.

Next, we generate a list of 13-grams to use as features for creating a document signature. These signatures along with globally-unique document ids are then saved to disk. We designed a document id encoding scheme to convert file names and line numbers (there is one document per line) to unique document ids. This also helped a lot in saving disk and memory for this stage. This step produced 20 TB of hashes."),

We then process each band individually. Within each band, documents are matched based on their hashes, and the matches are saved as document pairs. A document is considered a match if it matches another document in any of the 9 bands. Since we are looking for near-duplicates, a document may match multiple documents across different bands."),

Additionally, since we process each band separately, this approach wouldn’t remove duplicates across different bands."),

One way we parallelize the Bloom filter execution is by partitioning pairs horizontally and running one filter per partition, as shown in the table below. There is a high chance that duplicates from different bands will have the same pairs in the same horizontal partition. This step reduces the number of pairs by nearly ninefold."),

Using a third-party library like NetworkX to find connected components would require all pairs to fit into the memory of a single machine, which is not feasible. Instead, we implemented a distributed connected component finder [4] using the Dask framework, which can scale across multiple machines. The algorithm works by mapping edges by both the source and destination of pairs and reducing only edges where the source is greater than the destination. It performs successive iterations of this MapReduce computation until convergence, meaning the number of new edges produced becomes zero. In the end, every document in a cluster points to the smallest document within the cluster. Later, we compile a list of duplicate documents that need deletion and gather statistics about each component."),
