 # Macedonian Corpus - Cleaned
 [raw version here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LVSTCK/macedonian-corpus-raw)
-## Key Highlights
 - **Size**: 35.5 GB, **Word Count**: 3.31 billion
 - Filtered for **irrelevant and low-quality content** using C4 and Gopher filtering.
 - Includes text from **10+ sources** such as fineweb-2, HPLT, Wikipedia, and more.
-## Overview
 Macedonian is widely recognized as a low-resource language in the field of NLP. Publicly available resources in Macedonian are extremely limited, and as far as we know, no consolidated resource encompassing all available public data exists. Another challenge is the state of digitalized books and documents in Macedonia. The country lags behind in this regard, with many books and documents existing only as scanned images. This makes it difficult to extract textual information, which is critical for advancing linguistic research, education, and NLP applications in Macedonian language. To address these challenges, we created this **Macedonian Corpus**. This corpus consolidates multiple sources of Macedonian text data, including books, academic papers, web content, and other textual resources.
 This version of the corpus is **cleaned**, meaning the data has been subjected to filtering to ensure high-quality text for NLP tasks. The filtering was done using [datatrove](https://github.com/huggingface/datatrove), mainly motivated by [fineweb-2](https://github.com/huggingface/fineweb-2), but with slightly less aggressive settings to retain a broader range of text sources.
