train_data = dataset["train"]

print(f"📊 Total files: {len(train_data):,}")
print(f"🌍 Languages: {sorted(set(train_data['language']))}")
print(f"📈 Average quality: {sum(train_data['quality_score'])/len(train_data):.2f}")

🎯 Language-Specific Filtering

# Get language subsets
python_files = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["language"] == "Python")
swift_files = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["language"] == "Swift")

🏆 Quality-Based Selection

# Filter by quality and complexity
high_quality = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["quality_score"] > 0.9)
simple_code = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["complexity"] == "Low")
documented = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["documentation_ratio"] > 0.1)

# Popular repositories (educational value)
popular_repos = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["stars"] > 100)

🔄 Streaming for Large-Scale Training

# Efficient streaming for training
dataset_stream = load_dataset(
    "vinsblack/The_Stack_Processed-v2", 
    streaming=True
)

# Process in batches
for batch in dataset_stream["train"].iter(batch_size=1000):
    # Your training logic here
    pass

🔍 Data Exploration

# Explore sample data
import random

# Random sampling across languages
samples = random.sample(list(train_data), 5)

for i, example in enumerate(samples):
    print(f"\n🔍 --- Example {i+1} ---")
