We use a streaming dataloader to read the data on-the-fly from the disk. It requires the data sharded into multiple small files (e.g. 10K lines per file), as well as a JSON file to contain some meta data and the paths to these files.
The overall data directory should be organized as follows:
Data/
├── json/
│ ├── train.json
│ └── valid.json
├── shard/
│ ├── train/
│ │ ├── 00000.txt
│ │ ├── 00001.txt
│ │ └── ...
│ └── valid/
│ ├── 00000.txt
│ ├── 00001.txt
│ └── ...
├── dict.txt
└── sentencepiece.bpe.model
We recommend that each sharded data files contains no more than 10K lines with one sentence per line, and two documents should be separated with an empty line.
Document 1 Line 1
Document 1 Line 2
Document 1 Line 3
Document 2 Line 1
Document 2 Line 2
...
Also, the JSON file should be in the format like this:
[
{
"source": [
"shard/train/00000.txt",
"shard/train/00001.txt",
...
],
"source_lang": "en",
"weight": 1.0
}
]
You can quickly get started with our processed vocabulary files: sentencepiece.bpe.model and dict.txt. Note that this vocabulary is English-only with 64K tokens. To train a new sentencepiece.bpe.model
on your own data, please refer to the SentencePiece repo. With the sentecepiece model and the installed sentencepiece
library, you can extract the dict.txt
file from it by
spm_export_vocab --model=sentencepiece.bpe.model | sed 's/\t/ /g' | tail -n +4 > dict.txt
