HPLT2-Edu-scores

Dataset summary

HPLT2-JQL-Education is a model-annotated language subset of HPLT2, spanning 35 languages. Our model-annotations allow for a filtering that achieves higher-quality training outcomes without excessively aggressive data reduction. The original FW2 heuristic filtering method serves as our baseline, providing reference points for both the volume of retained tokens and downstream model performance. For example, in the Spanish language case, applying the 0.6 threshold retains over 9% more tokens than FW2 train while still surpassing its quality .

HPLT2-Edu-scores was created based on scores assigned by a deep learning classifier trained to identify educational samples using Snowflake's Arctic-embed-m-v2.0 embeddings.

For all training ablations, we used dense decoder-only models with 2 billion parameters, following the LLaMA architecture. For more details, see our paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.22232.

The approach as described in the paper is easy to extend to other languages as well, and we might consider adding new languages to an upcoming version of the present dataset.

We also separately release the computed general-purpose embedding vectors for the the full sets of the original HPLT2 dataset, in the respective languages, as they can be useful for other applications beyond quality filtering: HPLT2-embeddings.

Origin of the Dataset

This dataset, derived from HPLT2, includes web content collected from 2012 to 2023. As HPLT2 is sourced from the broader internet, it may contain some personally identifiable information (PII), despite efforts to anonymize email addresses and public IP addresses during processing.

Considerations for Data Usage

For information on social impact, potential biases, and known limitations, please refer to the HPLT2 documentation.
