## License Issues
While we aim to produce datasets with completely accurate licensing information, license laundering and inaccurate metadata can cause us to erroneously assign the incorrect license to some documents (for further discussion of this limitation, please see [our paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.05209)).
If you believe you have found an instance of incorrect licensing in this dataset, please [start a discussion](https://github.com/r-three/common-pile/discussions/new) on this repository.

我们通过定制化的文本处理流水线从HTML格式内容中提取纯文本，包括提取文章标题与作者署名信息，并将其置于每篇文章的开头位置。

每篇文档的授权协议信息可在每条数据样本的`metadata`（元数据）字段下的`license`项中查阅。本数据集的采集、处理与预处理代码可在[common-pile GitHub仓库](https://github.com/r-three/common-pile)中获取。

## 数据集统计
| 文档数量 | UTF-8 存储容量（GB） |
|-----------|----------|
| 126,673 | 0.3 |

## 授权协议相关说明
尽管我们致力于提供完全准确的授权协议信息，但授权洗白（license laundering）与元数据不准确的问题可能导致我们错误地为部分文档分配了错误的授权协议。如需进一步讨论该局限性，请参阅[我们的论文](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.05209)。
若您发现本数据集中存在授权协议标注错误的案例，请在本仓库中[发起讨论](https://github.com/r-three/common-pile/discussions/new)。
