Advances in Natural Language Processing have generated new models that push forward the state of the art. This reached new heights in complex tasks in handling unstructured texts. Most of the new architectures and models focus on the English language. There is a lack of available datasets that can be used during the training of new models. This investigation presents four new textual datasets for language modeling in Brazilian Portuguese. Our datasets were generated from several specific methodologies that aimed to obtain data of different natures. Two of our sets were originally built from data in online web forums. We also distribute a translated version of MultiWOZ, and a clean version of BrWaC. The original datasets are made available in a structured way to facilitate their use during the training of NLP models, with questions, answers and conversations already identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
