**AraMix family:** [AraMix](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaMLLab/AraMix) (minhash and matched) | [AraMix-domain-classified](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaMLLab/AraMix-domain-classified) (with domain labels) | [AraMix-HQ](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaMLLab/AraMix-HQ) (model-filtered)

AraMix-HQ is a high-quality subset of [AraMix-MinHash](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaMLLab/AraMix) created using model-based quality scoring. We adapt the approach from [FineWeb2-HQ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.10361) but replace the XLM-Roberta encoder with [mmBERT](https://huggingface.co/jhu-clsp/mmBERT-small), which provides better Arabic language understanding. We release the model at [AdaMLLab/mmBERT-Arabic-Quality-Classifier](https://huggingface.co/AdaMLLab/mmBERT-Arabic-Quality-Classifier).

AraMix-HQ outperforms both AraMix-Matched and FineWeb2-HQ on Arabic FineTasks benchmarks.

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("AdaMLLab/AraMix-HQ")
```

## Method

1. Start with AraMix-MinHash (178B tokens, 179M documents)
2. Score documents using mmBERT-based classifiers trained to identify structured, knowledge-rich content
3. Filter to retain high-scoring samples
