πŸš€ Misraj Unstructured Data Dump (MUDD)

A large-scale Arabic text dataset translated from SlimPajama-627B for pretraining Arabic language models

πŸ“š Dataset Summary

MUDD is a substantial dataset comprising 4,758,338 rows of unstructured, plain Arabic text. Each entry includes Arabic text and retains its UUID from the original source. This dataset provides high-quality Arabic content specifically designed for pretraining large language models (LLMs) and advancing Arabic natural language processing (NLP) research.

🌟 Key Features

  • πŸ“ Size: 4,758,338 rows of Arabic text
  • πŸ—£οΈ Language: Arabic (translated from English)
  • πŸ“Œ Source: Selected subset of SlimPajama-627B
  • πŸ€– Translation Model: Mutarjim
  • πŸ“ Format: Plain text with UUID identifiers

πŸ—ƒοΈ Dataset Details

🌐 Source Data

The foundation of MUDD is SlimPajama-627B, a high-quality English text dataset containing:

  • πŸ“ˆ 627 billion tokens
  • ♻️ Deduplicated content
  • 🌍 Diverse sources including web pages, Wikipedia, GitHub, and books

Note: MUDD is derived from a carefully selected subset of SlimPajama-627B, not the complete dataset.

πŸ”„ Translation Process

The Arabic content was generated using Mutarjim, a high-performance Arabic-English translation model built on the Kuwain-1.5B architecture. The translation involved:

  1. πŸ› οΈ Pre-training: On extensive monolingual Arabic and English corpora
  2. 🎯 Fine-tuning: Using high-quality, human-curated parallel sentence pairs for accurate Arabic translations
