+ # Abstract

+
31
+ In this work we introduce dynaword an argument for moving toward continously developed dataset as opposed to current release and forget datasets.
32
+ As an example we release Danish DynaWord

+ dataset is available at: LINK

42
+ In the project we specifically choose to focus on the low to mid-resource language Danish (dan). We see two reasons for doing this:
43
+
44
+ - The dynaword approach is most likely to be beneficial for low to mid resourced languages (class 2-4; @joshiStateFateLinguistic2020) which have contributors able and willing to contribute and where the domain high resource languages (class 5; @joshiStateFateLinguistic2020) could likely sustain multiple dynaword project targeting specific domains.
45
+ - not only for Danish b
46
+
47
+ While it is in theory possible to open a PR on existing dataset, this practice is often rare and instead we often see improvements on the existing dataset published (see e.g. [@pascal_alie_kenneth_et_paper], [@that_guy_that_added_langauge_tag_to_a_dataset]). These derivative works rarely get as many downloads as the original
48
+
49
+ Contrasting this approach to code development - where it is common practice to create PRs to continually improve the codebase - makes this dataset development landscape seems immature and inefficent.

+ ### Existing approaches in Dataset development
55
+
56
+ Large project like OSCAR [@OSCAR], HPLT [@hplt], and fineweb [@fineweb] release iterative version of dataset derived from commoncrawl [@commoncrawl].
57
+ These approaches make it hard to contributors to join contribute and siloes dataset development in a few institutions. Furthermore the focus
58
+ commoncrawl ignores other valuable resources such as public APIs and comes with a slew of ethical and legal concerns [@missing] which effect only the usefulness of the datasets but also the models derived from these.
59
+ While these resources such as individual dataset derived from APIs would be extensive to collect for individual groups as they rarely offer enough data to be worth the time opening up this approach to a community makes these approaches more viable.
60
+
61
+
62
+ Opening up development pipeline also increases openness around the dataset collection. ADD SOMETHING on inclusion here.

+ # Conclusion
111
+
112
+ ## Dataset delivery
113
+
114
+ # Limitation
115
+
116
+ - Is danish too limited: Should we consider multilingual sources, scandinavian, germanic, English
117
+
118
+ - Size:
119
+ - The size is currently limited if the size grows to large developing becomes problematic
120
+ - This is still way smaller than what could be extracted from CC
121
+
122
+ - Only Danish: While developing CI for datasets is by no means new [@missing] doing so for open pre-training datasets open a collaborative fashion has
123
+ not been tested on a larger scale. Once the approach has been validated we plan to host a collaboration along with huggingface to develop these dataset sources.
124
+
125
+ - Huggingface datasets as a development platform for datasets: Througout this work it was clear to many of the developers that the ease of contributing minor changes (e.g. filtering out a few bad examples) was both hard to create a PRs for and hard to review often requiring the reviewer to simply trust that the user did what was stated in the commit message. While previous projects have tackled this issue using human readable formats [@dep_treebank], due to the scope of the dataset this would quickly become inefficient.
126
+ This lack of clarity increased the likelihood of dataset attacks such as dataset poisoning [@missing]. We expect to see both interface development and software development to detect and prevent such attacks.
127
+
128
+ - Machine generated content within training data: Not
129
+
130
+
131
+ Ethical and Environmental consideration
132
+
133
+ enviromental:
134
+ - common codebase lead to less duplication of dataset and reduces storage required
135
+ - continual ci running on large datasets could be a concern. Currently out tests use a total of XXX Co2-eq (estimated using codecarbon). however we have already seen people using training [@fineweb] and evaluating LLMs to appriximate dataset quality, such workflows could quickly incrase the co2 consumption.

+ abstract = {Language technologies contribute to promoting multilingualism and linguistic diversity around the world. However, only a very small number of the over 7000 languages of the world are represented in the rapidly evolving language technologies and applications. In this paper we look at the relation between the types of languages, resources, and their representation in NLP conferences to understand the trajectory that different languages have followed over time. Our quantitative investigation underlines the disparity between languages, especially in terms of their resources, and calls into question the "language agnostic" status of current models and systems. Through this paper, we attempt to convince the ACL community to prioritise the resolution of the predicaments highlighted here, so that no language is left behind.},
