• Abstract: The need for large text corpora has increased with the advent of pretrained language models and, in particular, the discovery of scaling laws for these models. Most available corpora have sufficient data only for languages with large dominant communities. However, there is no corpus available that (i) covers a wide range of minority languages; (ii) is generated by an open-source reproducible pipeline; and (iii) is rigorously cleaned from noise, making it trustworthy to use. We present GlotCC, a clean, document-level, 2TB general domain corpus derived from CommonCrawl, covering more than 1000 languages. We make GlotCC and the system used to generate it - including the pipeline, language identification model, and filters - available to the research community.

• A Systematic Evaluation of Large Language Models of Code [88.34057460577957]
  Large language models (LMs) of code have recently shown tremendous promise in completing code and synthesizing code from natural language descriptions. The current state-of-the-art code LMs are not publicly available, leaving many questions about their model and data design decisions. Although Codex is not open-source, we find that existing open-source models do achieve close results in some programming languages. We release a new model, PolyCoder, with 2.7B parameters based on the GPT-2 architecture, which was trained on 249GB of code across 12 programming languages on a single machine.
