Provides access to 1 trillion tokens of PDF-derived multimodal data (images + OCR text) from Common Crawl 2023-14, organized in WebDataset format for distributed streaming. Uses tar-based sharding architecture enabling efficient parallel loading across GPUs without requiring full dataset materialization on disk. Integrates with HuggingFace datasets library and MLCroissant metadata standard for reproducible, versioned access to 5.7M+ document samples.
Unique: Combines 1T tokens of PDF-derived content from Common Crawl with WebDataset sharding for distributed streaming, enabling sub-second per-sample access without full materialization — unlike static image-text datasets (LAION, CC3M) that require download or local indexing
vs alternatives: Offers 10x larger scale than LAION-5B for document-specific content with native OCR alignment, while maintaining streaming efficiency that COCO and Flickr30K lack due to their centralized file structures
Automatically extracts and aligns image renderings of PDF pages with their corresponding OCR text output, preserving spatial relationships and document structure. Uses PDF parsing to generate page images at consistent DPI (72-300) and applies OCR engines (likely Tesseract or similar) to produce character-level text with bounding box metadata. Deduplication via content hashing removes near-duplicate pages across Common Crawl crawls.
Unique: Provides 1T-token scale OCR-image pairs with automatic deduplication across Common Crawl snapshots, using content hashing to eliminate redundant pages — most document datasets (DocVQA, RVL-CDIP) manually curate smaller, domain-specific collections without cross-crawl deduplication
vs alternatives: Scales to 5.7M documents with automated deduplication, whereas DocVQA (12K docs) and IIT-CDIP (6M pages) require manual curation or are domain-specific; offers broader diversity than academic paper datasets (arXiv, S2-ORC)
Implements WebDataset-compatible tar-based sharding that enables efficient parallel loading across distributed training clusters without materializing the full dataset on local storage. Each shard contains ~1000 samples; workers fetch shards on-demand and decompress in-memory, with built-in support for HuggingFace Datasets streaming mode and PyTorch DataLoader integration. Supports deterministic shuffling via seed-based shard ordering for reproducible training runs.
Unique: Uses tar-based WebDataset sharding with on-demand decompression and deterministic seed-based shuffling, enabling distributed training without centralized storage — most large datasets (ImageNet, COCO) require pre-download or NAS mounting, adding deployment complexity
vs alternatives: Eliminates storage bottleneck compared to LAION-5B (requires 330GB download) and provides native streaming support that static dataset formats (COCO, Flickr30K) lack; comparable to LAION's WebDataset approach but with larger scale and PDF-specific preprocessing
Publishes dataset metadata in MLCroissant format (W3C standard for machine learning datasets), enabling automated discovery, versioning, and reproducible access through standardized schema. Includes structured descriptions of splits, features, licenses, and data provenance (Common Crawl 2023-14 snapshot). Enables tools like HuggingFace Hub and Croissant parsers to automatically validate dataset integrity and generate data cards.
Unique: Implements W3C MLCroissant standard for dataset metadata, enabling automated discovery and validation through standardized schema — most large datasets (LAION, COCO) publish metadata in ad-hoc formats (JSON, YAML) without formal schema compliance
vs alternatives: Provides machine-readable, standardized metadata that enables automated tooling and discovery, whereas LAION and other large datasets rely on unstructured documentation; comparable to Hugging Face's dataset cards but with formal W3C compliance
Curates and deduplicates content from Common Crawl's 2023-14 snapshot using content hashing (likely SHA-256 or similar) to remove near-duplicate PDF pages across multiple crawl cycles. Applies language detection to filter predominantly English documents and removes known low-quality sources. Preserves document source URLs and metadata for traceability.
Unique: Applies cross-crawl deduplication using content hashing to Common Crawl 2023-14 snapshot, eliminating redundant PDFs that appear in multiple crawl cycles — most web-scale datasets (LAION, C4) deduplicate within a single crawl but not across temporal snapshots
vs alternatives: Provides cleaner, deduplicated content than raw Common Crawl while maintaining web-scale diversity; more authentic than manually curated datasets (DocVQA, RVL-CDIP) but less curated than academic paper collections (arXiv, S2-ORC)
Renders PDF pages to images at configurable DPI (72-300 range) to balance visual fidelity with storage efficiency. Uses PDF rendering engines (likely poppler or similar) to convert vector-based PDF content to raster images while preserving text and layout information. Applies consistent DPI across dataset to enable batch processing without resolution normalization.
Unique: Applies consistent DPI rendering across 5.7M documents from diverse PDF sources, enabling batch processing without per-sample resolution normalization — most document datasets (DocVQA, RVL-CDIP) use variable resolutions or require downstream normalization
vs alternatives: Provides consistent rendering quality that enables efficient batching, whereas raw PDF rendering varies by engine; more scalable than manual curation but less controlled than synthetic document generation
