# FineWeb-Edu-Ar

FineWeb-Edu-Ar is a machine-translated Arabic version of the FineWeb-Edu dataset designed to support the development of Arabic small language models (SLMs).

Dataset Details:
- Languages: Arabic, English (paired)
- Size: 202 billion tokens
- License: CC-BY-NC-4.0
- Source: Machine-translated from the deduplicated version of Hugging Face’s FineWeb-Edu dataset
- Translation model: facebook/nllb-200-distilled-600M

Application:

FineWeb-Edu-Ar is suitable for pre-training Arabic language models, especially those focused on general knowledge and common-sense reasoning. Researchers and developers can utilize this dataset to enhance the performance of Arabic SLMs across various NLP tasks.

Python Usage:

To load and utilize the FineWeb-Edu-Ar dataset in Python, you can use the datasets package:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("kaust-generative-ai/fineweb-edu-ar", "ar", streaming=True)

print(next(iter(dataset["train"])))
```
