SultanR/ItaMix

ItaMix (https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.18834) is an Italian pretraining corpus built by combining five publicly available Italian datasets, applying Italian-specific quality filtering, and performing cross-dataset deduplication.

Subsets

Subset	Description
minhash_deduped	Document-level MinHash deduplication
matched	Documents appearing in 2+ source datasets

The matched subset uses cross-dataset agreement as a signal for quality.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("AdaMLLab/ItaMix", "minhash_deduped")
ds = load_dataset("AdaMLLab/ItaMix", "matched")

Pipeline

1. Quality filtering with Italian-specific thresholds (Latin script ratio, repetition patterns, line quality)
2. Document-level MinHash deduplication (5-gram shingles, 14 bands, 8 hashes per band, similarity threshold 0.8)
3. Cross-source matching to identify documents appearing in 2+ independent sources
