## 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.

## Other Versions
This is the "raw" version of the News dataset.
If you are looking for the filtered version used to train [Comma v0.1](https://huggingface.co/common-pile/comma-v0.1), you can find it [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/common-pile/news_filtered).

## 许可问题
尽管我们致力于生成许可信息完全准确的数据集，但许可洗白（license laundering）与元数据不准确的问题可能导致我们为部分文档错误分配了错误的许可。关于该局限性的详细讨论，请参阅[我们的论文](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.05209)。若您发现本数据集存在许可信息错误的情况，请在本仓库[发起讨论](https://github.com/r-three/common-pile/discussions/new)。
