pg19

  • Description:

This dataset contains the PG-19 language modeling benchmark. It includes a set of books extracted from the Project Gutenberg books project (https://www.gutenberg.org), that were published before 1919. It also contains metadata of book titles and publication dates. PG-19 is over double the size of the Billion Word benchmark and contains documents that are 20X longer, on average, than the WikiText long-range language modelling benchmark.

Books are partitioned into a train, validation, and test set. Books metadata is stored in metadata.csv which contains (book_id, short_book_title, publication_date, book_link).
