### Dataset Description

Vietnamese Curated Text Dataset. This dataset is collected from multiple open Vietnamese datasets, and curated with [NeMo Curator](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Curator)

- **Developed by:** Viettel Solutions
- **Language:** Vietnamese

### Details

Please visit our Tech Blog post on NVIDIA's plog page for details. [Link](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/processing-high-quality-vietnamese-language-data-with-nvidia-nemo-curator/)

#### Data Collection
We utilize a combination of datasets that contain samples in Vietnamese language, ensuring a robust and representative text corpus. These datasets include: 
- The Vietnamese subset of the [C4 dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/c4/viewer/vi) .
- The Vietnamese subset of the [OSCAR dataset, version 23.01](https://huggingface.co/datasets/oscar-corpus/OSCAR-2301/tree/main/vi_meta).
- [Wikipedia's Vietnamese articles](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikimedia/wikipedia/viewer/20231101.vi).
- [Binhvq's Vietnamese news corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/jetaudio/binhvq_news).


#### Preprocessing
We use [NeMo Curator](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Curator) to curate the collected data. The data curation pipeline includes these key steps:
1. Unicode Reformatting: Texts are standardized into a consistent Unicode format to avoid encoding issues.
2. Exact Deduplication: Removes exact duplicates to reduce redundancy.
3. Quality Filtering:
4. Heuristic Filtering: Applies rules-based filters to remove low-quality content.
5. Classifier-Based Filtering: Uses machine learning to classify and filter documents based on quality.
