π Misraj Unstructured Data Dump (MUDD)
A large-scale Arabic text dataset translated from SlimPajama-627B for pretraining Arabic language models
π 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.
π Key Features
- π Size: 4,758,338 rows of Arabic text
- π£οΈ Language: Arabic (translated from English)
- π Source: Selected subset of SlimPajama-627B
- π€ Translation Model: Mutarjim
- π Format: Plain text with UUID identifiers
ποΈ Dataset Details
π Source Data
The foundation of MUDD is SlimPajama-627B, a high-quality English text dataset containing:
- π 627 billion tokens
- β»οΈ Deduplicated content
- π 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.
π 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:
- π οΈ Pre-training: On extensive monolingual Arabic and English corpora
- π― Fine-tuning: Using high-quality, human-curated parallel sentence pairs for accurate Arabic translations
