OpenAI Common Crawl Dataset

A OpenAI Common Crawl Dataset is a Common Crawl dataset that undergoes OpenAI preprocessing for large-scale language model training by OpenAI, Inc..

• AKA: OpenAI Common Crawl, OpenAI Web Crawl, OpenAI CC Dataset, OpenAI Preprocessed Web Data, OpenAI Common Crawl Snapshot.
• Context:
  • It can typically contain 200GB preprocessed web data from Common Crawl snapshots with quality filtering.
  • It can typically include text extractions through HTML parsing and boilerplate removal.
  • It can typically provide deduplicated content through MinHash algorithms and exact matching.
  • It can often support foundation model training through web-scale text data and diverse domains.
  • It can often enable transfer learning through cross-domain content and multilingual text.
  • It can often facilitate representation learning through semantic diversity and contextual variety.
  • It can range from being a Small Common Crawl Sample to being a Full Common Crawl Snapshot, depending on its data size.
  • It can range from being a Lightly-Processed Common Crawl to being a Heavily-Processed Common Crawl, depending on its filtering depth.
  • It can range from being a Single-Snapshot Common Crawl to being a Multi-Snapshot Common Crawl, depending on its temporal coverage.
  • It can range from being a General Common Crawl to being a Domain-Filtered Common Crawl, depending on its content selection.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • OpenAI CC-200GB, the 200 gigabyte dataset under CC0 license.
  • OpenAI Common Crawl Subsets, such as:
    • OpenAI News Crawl Subset with news websites.
    • OpenAI Academic Crawl Subset with scholarly content.
    • OpenAI Reference Crawl Subset with Wikipedia-like content.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Raw Common Crawl, which lacks OpenAI processing and quality filters.
  • C4 Corpus, which uses different filtering pipeline by Google Research.
  • OpenAI WebText Dataset, which uses Reddit filtering rather than broad web crawling.
