# Atlaset: A Curated Dataset of Moroccan Darija
This dataset is a comprehensive, carefully curated collection of text data specifically for Moroccan Darija, the Arabic dialect spoken in Morocco. It combines various sources to provide a diverse and accurate representation of the language. 

This dataset was curated by [Abdelaziz Bounhar](https://huggingface.co/BounharAbdelaziz) and is particularly suited for tasks such as:
- Learning word embeddings for Moroccan Darija
- Training NLP models for tasks like language modeling, text generation (Pretraining large language models (LLMs) for instance), and more

As of today, the total **number of tokens** (using [Jais-13B](https://huggingface.co/inceptionai/jais-13b))is:
- For the *training* set: **155,501,098** tokens.
- For the *test* set:  **19,187** tokens.

## Features

- **Textual Data**: The dataset contains a rich collection of text, including social media posts, news articles, and more, providing a diverse range of language use.
- **Language Variety**: The dataset spans various registers, capturing both formal and informal expressions across different domains.
