Research direction

Start in the data/mc4 documentation linked by the issue and compare the two mC4 storage links with their intended destinations. Verify that the corrected locations are still valid and clarify or update the preprocessing references; done means the documentation links work and the scope around the related processing code is decided.

Description

Hi @TevenLeScao,

I think there are some confusing and broken link in the mC4 data preprocessing section. Can you take a look?

Both of the links are broken here,

  1. mc4_preprocessing
  2. mc4_sampled_raw

The original link should be,

  1. mc4_preprocessing
  2. mc4_sampled_raw

In addition to that, the multinomial data processing code to create the different language splits are in this pull request, https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/Megatron-DeepSpeed/pull/9

Here's few things,

  1. Did you use this data for any one of your experiments?
  2. If not then I think you can update the doc, https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/bigscience/tree/master/data/mc4

For reference purpose, if you want to keep the code, I'm happy to open a pull request here. If not I'll close the pull request from bigscience/Megatron-Deepspeed repo.

Let me know what do you think.
