 # Dataset Card for "bookcorpus_deduplicated"
 
+## Dataset Summary
+This is a deduplicated version of the original [Book Corpus dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bookcorpus).
+The Book Corpus (Zhu et al., 2015), which was used to train popular models such as BERT, has a substantial amount of exact-duplicate documents according to [Bandy and Vincent (2021)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.05241)
+[Bandy and Vincent (2021)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.05241) find that thousands of books in BookCorpus are duplicated, with only 7,185 unique books out of 11,038 total.
+
+Effect of deduplication
+- Num of lines: 38832894 VS 74004228 
+- Dataset size: 2.91GB VS 4.63GB
+
+The dataset has been shuffled, so the adjcent texts are no longer consecutive texts in a same book. 
+
+## Why deduplicate?
+Deduplication of training data has showed various advantages, including:
+- require fewer training steps to achieve the same or better accuracy
+- train models that emit memorized text ten times less frequently
+- reduce carbon emission and energy consumption
+
+cf [Deduplicating Training Data Makes Language Models Better](https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.06499)
+
+
+## Deduplication script:
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+dataset = load_dataset("bookcorpus")["train"]["text"]
+df = pd.Dataframe({"text":dataset})
+
+# drop duplicates(exact match)
+df_filtered = df["text"].drop_duplicates()
+
+df_filtered.to_csv("bookcorpus_filtered.csv","index"=False,"header"=False)
+new_dataset = load_dataset("text",data_files={"train":"bookcorpus_filtered.csv"})
+```
+
+More sophicated deduplication algorithms can be applied to improve the performance, such as https://github.com/google-research/deduplicate-text-datasets
