How can i know the category of size of the database(small, medium, large) and diversity

Beginners

i have these guidlines

 * Select a Suitable Dataset from Hugging Face:
 * Guidelines:
 * Visit the Hugging Face Datasets repository.
* Choose a small to medium-sized text-based dataset suitable for BPE training, such 
  as Penn Treebank, WikiText, or IMDB Reviews.

  • Hints:

        - Look for datasets labeled as "small" to ensure manageable processing times.

    • Consider the diversity of the dataset to observe how BPE handles various word 
      structures.

My questions are

  1. Where i can find the label of data base small, medium, large ?

  2. How can i know if the data set is diverse or not ?

  3. What is Penn Treebank, WikiText, or IMDB data bases ?

Thank you very much i would very much appreciated if any one answer my question.

I can understand only 1. You can try operating it by looking at the Size bar on the screen below. I don’t understand the others…

Thank you for your response i appreciate you reading and responding ot me

so let’s step back a little bit
what he want me to do is the following

Applying BPE to a Real Dataset from Hugging Face

Objective

Enhance your understanding of the Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) algorithm by applying it to a real-world dataset sourced from Hugging Face. This involves loading a dataset, preprocessing it, integrating it with the existing BPE implementation, training the model, and saving the results.

Guidelines

  • Select a Suitable Dataset from Hugging Face:
    • Guidelines:
      • Visit the Hugging Face Datasets repository.
      • Choose a small to medium-sized text-based dataset suitable for BPE training, such as Penn Treebank, WikiText, or IMDB Reviews.

  1. For part 1 i can see the size but the size doesn’t make sense to me is 1 million large or small data set is 1k large or small there is no categorize given which the guidelines seems to suggest.

  2. For part 2 and 3 So he want me to apply BPE (byte pair encoding) i think what he mean by diverse if it’s does not have repeated word all it has is unique or most of it

  3. What is Penn Treebank, WikiText, or IMDB data bases ? what i mean by that why these dataset works on Byte pair encoding what is special about them
