+# 💻 Stack-Edu
+
+Stack-Edu is a 125B token dataset of educational code filtered from [The Stack v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-v2), precisely the curated training corpus of [StarCoder2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.19173) models denoted StarCoder2Data. It is intended for Language Models training.
+
+This dataset was curated using a classifier-based filtering strategy, inspired by [📚 FineWeb-Edu](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu), to retain only the highest-quality educational programming content.
+
+## 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](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-v2-train-full-ids) for the data license.
+
+When running on a 16-core AWS `us-east-1` instance, this script takes ~6 hours to download the files: 
+```python
+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
+
+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])
+```

+
+## Dataset curation and results
+To build Stack-Edu, we:
+
+- Selected 15 largest programming languages from StarCoder2Data 
+- Trained 15 language-specific classifiers, using [StarEncoder](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starencoder) model on synthetic annotations generated by Llama3-70B-Instruct. The classifiers for each language are available in this [collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/HuggingFaceTB/the-ultimate-collection-of-code-classifiers-67b5aa3eb8994a4b71453005).
+- Applied a filtering threshold of 3 (out of 5) to retain highly educational content, except for Java, which performed best at threshold 2.
+
+Stack-Edu, shows consistent improvement over StarCoder2data on all the programming languages on MultiPL-E benchmark.
