# HK Content Corpus (Cantonese \& Traditional Chinese) |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Description |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Language:** Hong Kong Cantonese, Traditional Chinese |
|
|
- **Size:** 9.44GB |
|
|
- **Source:** public web sources (news sites, online forums, encyclopedia and restaurant reviews). |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset contains eight cleaned source-specific corpora of **Hong Kong Cantonese** and **Traditional Chinese** text, crawled from public websites and platforms. |
|
|
|
|
|
It was initially created for the experiments reported in **https://doi.org/10.1145/3744341** which study the **effect of diglossia on Hong Kong language** modeling. |
|
|
|
|
|
Each file stores plain UTF-8 text, where **each record occupies one line**, and **blank lines serve as separators**. |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset is also available at Zenodo: **https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16882351** |
|
|
|
|
|
We only change file extension from .corpus to .csv and add header row here for HuggingFace's dataset viewer function |
|
|
|
|
|
👉 This cleaned corpus is derived from a larger MySQL database used to store raw text during the data collection stage. |
|
|
