Dataset Card for Cleaned Subset of Pushshift Reddit Comments
Dataset Summary
This dataset is a curated and cleaned subset of the fddemarco/pushshift-reddit-comments dataset. The original dataset, which contains a vast collection of Reddit comments, has been filtered and refined to enhance its suitability for training language models. Specifically, this subset has undergone the following preprocessing steps:
- Removal of Special Characters: Certain special characters that may interfere with the language modeling process have been removed.
- Length Filtering: Comments shorter than 200 characters have been excluded to ensure the dataset primarily contains substantial and contextually rich text.
Dataset Creation
The dataset was derived from the fddemarco/pushshift-reddit-comments dataset by applying a series of cleaning steps aimed at improving its quality for language model training. The main steps involved were:
- Special Characters Removal: Special characters such as
@,#, and other non-alphanumeric symbols were removed to standardize the text data. - Comment Length Filtering: Only comments with 200 characters or more were retained. This filtering step ensures that the dataset includes comments that are more likely to provide meaningful context for training language models.
Usage
This cleaned subset is particularly well-suited for training and fine-tuning language models. By focusing on longer comments and removing extraneous special characters, the dataset helps models learn from richer and more coherent text. Researchers and developers can use this dataset to build more robust and contextually aware language models.
