About
🎭 Shakespeare's First Folio (a collection of 36 of Shakespeare's plays) as a Hugging Face dataset!
Description
In 2015, Andrej Karpathy wrote a post called "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks" in his blog. For the needs of this post, he created tinyshakespeare, a subset of Shakespeare's works in a single 40,000 lines file. Surprisingly, language models trained from scratch on this tiny dataset can produce samples that look very close to those written by Shakespeare himself.
Since then, tinyshakespeare has been the defacto dataset used as a first test while developing language models. Unfortunately, it has some problems:
- It is a single file, which makes further processing difficult
- It does not contain all of Shakespeare's works
- It is not clear exactly what works and to what extend are included
This dataset tries to address these problems. It is ~4 times bigger than tinyshakespeare.
It was manually collected from Folger Shakespeare Library.
