How to filter for language?

#2
by Rijgersberg - opened

Congratulations and big thanks on this monumental data release!

The model card mentions that the language of the text is included in the metadata. However, I am not able to find it. Can you point to exactly where the language metadata is stored?

The dataset is multilingual. The language text is included in the metadata, so data can be filtered by language. Additionally, some of the text data are historical. The year each text is written is included in the metadata, therefore it is possible to construct a dataset with a custom date cutoff if desired.

Hi! Yes was planned for this release (along with additional metadata, including title/author for document where it is relevant). Will be added very soon.

Any update on language tags and other metadata?

A language column was added in Common Corpus 2.0, so filtering on language is now possible. Thanks!

It does however require processing the entire 10+ TB dataset. Having separate subsets or releases per language would be quite convenient.

I'll at least see if I can create a dataset of Dutch only.
