# Ubuntu IRC

## Description
Logs of all discussions on the [Ubuntu-hosted Internet Relay Chat](https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/) (IRC) since 2004 have been archived and released into the Public Domain. We downloaded all chats from all channels up until March of 2025. We consider all messages for a given channel on a given day as a single document. We removed system messages as well as those from known bots.

## Dataset Statistics
| Documents | UTF-8 GB |
|-----------|----------|
| 234,982 | 5.3 |

## 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.

# Ubuntu IRC数据集

## 数据集描述
自2004年起，所有托管于Ubuntu的互联网中继聊天（Internet Relay Chat，IRC）频道的讨论日志均已归档并发布至公共领域（Public Domain）。本数据集采集了截至2025年3月所有频道的全部聊天记录。我们将指定频道在单日的所有消息视为单个文档，并已移除系统消息及已知机器人发送的消息。

## 数据集统计
| 文档数量 | UTF-8 格式大小（GB） |
|---------|----------------------|
| 234,982 | 5.3 |

## 授权问题
尽管我们致力于提供完全准确的授权信息，但授权洗白（license laundering）与元数据（metadata）不准确可能导致我们错误地为部分文档分配了错误的授权协议。关于该局限性的进一步讨论，请参阅[我们的研究论文](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.05209)。若您发现本数据集存在授权信息错误的情况，请前往本仓库[发起讨论](https://github.com/r-three/common-pile/discussions/new)。
