|
| ## Dataset Configuration |
|
|
| The dataset is configured with a default split: |
| - Split name: train |
| - Data files pattern: data/train-* |
|
|
| ## Creation Process |
|
|
| TreeCorpus was created using a specialized pipeline that: |
| 1. Downloads the latest Wikipedia dumps |
| 2. Processes XML content to extract articles |
| 3. Cleans and standardizes text by removing markup, templates, and non-content elements |
| 4. Structures data in a consistent, machine-readable format |
| 5. Filters out redirects, stubs, and non-article content |
|
|
