• Number of tokens (Llama 3): 4.26B
• Average document length (characters): 14755.73

Dataset Summary

The Danish dynaword is a continually developed collection of Danish free-form text datasets from various domains. It is intended to be continually updated with new data sources. If you would like to contribute a dataset see the contribute section

Loading the dataset

from datasets import load_dataset

name = "danish-foundation-models/danish-dynaword"
ds = load_dataset(name, split = "train")
sample = ds[1] # see "Data Instances" below

or load it by streaming the data

ds = load_dataset(name, split = "train", streaming=True)
dataset_iter = iter(ds)
sample = next(iter(dataset_iter))

You can also load a single subset at a time:

ds = load_dataset(name, "adl", split = "train")

As Danish Dynaword is continually expanding and curated you can make sure that you get the same dataset every time by specifying the revision: You can also load a single subset at a time:

ds = load_dataset(name, revision="{desired revision}")

Languages:

This dataset includes the following languages:

• dan-Latn
• dan-Latn-bornholm
• dan-Latn-synnejyl

Language is denoted using BCP-47, using the langauge code ISO 639-3 and the script code ISO 15924. The last element denote the region variant.

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains text from different sources which are thoroughly defined in Source Data.

Data Instances

Each entry in the dataset consists of a single text with associated metadata

{
  "id": "adl_aakjaer06val",
  "text": "SAMLEDE VÆRKER\n\nJEPPE AAKJÆR GYLDENDALSKE BOGHANDEL - NORDISK FORLAG KJØBENHAVN OG\nKRISTIANIA 1919 0[...]",
  "source": "adl",
  "added": "2020-09-14",
  "created": "1700-01-01, 2022-01-01",
  "token_count": 439908
}

Data Fields

An entry in the dataset consists of the following fields:

• id (str): An unique identifier for each document.
• text(str): The content of the document.
• source (str): The source of the document (see Source Data).
• added (str): An date for when the document was added to this collection.
• created (str): An date range for when the document was originally created.
• token_count (int): The number of tokens in the sample computed using the Llama 8B tokenizer

Data Splits

The entire corpus is provided in the train split.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

These datasets were collected and curated with the intention of making openly license Danish data available. While this was collected with the intention of developing language models it is likely to have multiple other uses such as examining language development and differences across domains.

Annotations

This data generally contains no annotation besides the metadata attached to each sample such as what domain it belongs to.

Data Collection and Processing

The data collection and processing varies depending on the dataset and is documentationed the individual datasheets, which is linked in the above table. If possible the collection is documented both in the datasheet and in the reproducible script (data/{dataset}/create.py).

In addition to data specific processing we also run a series automated quality checks to ensure formatting (e.g. ensuring correctly formatted columns and unique IDs), quality checks (e.g. duplicate and empty string detection) and datasheet documentation checks. These checks are there to ensure a high quality of documentation and a minimal level of quality. To allow for the development of novel cleaning methodologies we do not provide more extensive cleaning.
