Creators usually describe how a corpus was assembled but not what it actually contains. This paper introduces WIMBD (What's In My Big Data?), an open-source toolkit for inspecting and comparing such corpora. It rests on two… 2. **[Paloma: A Benchmark for Evaluating Language Model Fit](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/magnusson-2023-paloma-benchmark-evaluating-language-model/)** *(2023 · 42 citations)* Language models are usually scored by perplexity on one held-out corpus. Such a corpus quietly blends many kinds of text, so a single number cannot show how well a model handles each kind. Paloma (Perplexity Analysis for Language Model Assessment) instead measures fit across 546 fine-grained English and code domains… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[OLMo: Accelerating the Science of Language Models ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.acl-long.841/) Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Dirk Groeneveld et al.*2024 · 429 citations* 2. **[Dolma: an Open Corpus of Three Trillion Tokens for Language Model Pretraining Research ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.acl-long.840/) Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Luca Soldaini et al.*2024 · 341 citations* 3.
