Training Dataset

The vocab and the model are pertrained on 100% of the PRD scientific literature dataset.

The PRD dataset is provided by Public.Resource.Org, Inc. (“Public Resource”), a nonprofit organization based in California. This dataset was constructed from a corpus of journal article files, from which We successfully extracted text from 75,496,055 articles from 178,928 journals. The articles span across Arts & Humanities, Life Sciences & Biomedicine, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, and Technology. The distribution of articles is shown below.
