💻 Stack-Edu

image/png

Stack-Edu is a 125B token dataset of educational code filtered from The Stack v2, precisely the curated training corpus of StarCoder2 models denoted StarCoder2Data. It is intended for Language Models training.

This dataset was curated using a classifier-based filtering strategy, inspired by 📚 FineWeb-Edu, to retain only the highest-quality educational programming content.

Stack-Edu shows consistent improvement over StarCoder2data on all the programming languages on MultiPL-E benchmark.

Downloading the data

This dataset only contains the SWHIDs to download the code files and not the content of the files itself. The contents can be downloaded from Software Heritage's S3 bucket to ensure data compliance. Please refer to the-stack-v2 for the data license.

When running on a 16-core AWS us-east-1 instance, this script takes ~6 hours to download the files: 

import boto3
import gzip
from datasets import load_dataset
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError

num_proc = 16
s3 = boto3.client('s3')
bucket_name = "softwareheritage"

def download_contents(blob_id):
    key = f"content/{blob_id}"
    try:
        obj = s3.get_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=key)
        with gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=obj['Body']) as fin:
            content = fin.read().decode("utf-8", errors="ignore")
        return {"text": content, "download_success": True}
    except ClientError as e:
        if e.response['Error']['Code'] == 'NoSuchKey':
            print(f"File not found: {key}")
            return {"text": "", "download_success": False}
        else:
            raise

# For Python
ds = load_dataset("HuggingFaceTB/stack-edu", "Python", split="train", num_proc=num_proc)
ds = ds.map(download_contents, input_columns="blob_id", num_proc=num_proc)

# Filter out failed downloads
ds = ds.filter(lambda x: x['download_success'])

# Optionally, print the first example to verify the data
print(ds[0])

Details

The table below shows the number of tokens in each programming language using SmolLM2 tokenizer.

Language Stack-Edu (B tokens)
Python 21.8
Cpp 16.0
Markdown 14.0
C 11.1
JavaScript 11.1
Java 42.1
SQL 9.62
PHP 9.07
C-Sharp 8.87
TypeScript 3.03
Shell 3.13
Swift 1.83
Go 1.80
Rust 1.75
Ruby 1.61

Dataset curation

To build Stack-Edu, we:

  • Selected 15 largest programming languages from StarCoder2Data
  • Trained 15 language-specific classifiers, using StarEncoder model on synthetic annotations generated by Llama3-70B-Instruct. The classifiers for each language are available in this collection.
  • Applied a filtering threshold of 3 (out of 5) to retain highly educational content, except for Java, which performed best at threshold 2.
