PRRC Rater Training and Evaluation Dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset contains the full training and evaluation data for the PRRC rater models described in Meta-rater: A Multi-dimensional Data Selection Method for Pre-training Language Models. It is designed for training and benchmarking models that score text along four key quality dimensions: Professionalism, Readability, Reasoning, and Cleanliness.

• Source: Subset of SlimPajama-627B, annotated for PRRC dimensions
• Purpose: Supervised training and evaluation of PRRC raters (ModernBERT models)
• Annotation: Each sample is labeled by Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct and/or human annotators, then used to fine-tune and benchmark PRRC raters

Dataset Statistics

• Total samples: ~1M (split into train/dev/test)
• Quality metrics: 4 PRRC dimensions (Professionalism, Readability, Reasoning, Cleanliness)
• Domains: Diverse (CommonCrawl, C4, GitHub, Books, ArXiv, Wikipedia, StackExchange)
• Annotation coverage: 100% of included samples

PRRC Quality Dimensions

• Professionalism: Degree of expertise and prerequisite knowledge required
• Readability: Clarity, coherence, and ease of understanding
• Reasoning: Complexity of logical reasoning and analytical thinking
• Cleanliness: Formatting, completeness, and absence of noise/irrelevant content

Each dimension is rated on a 0–5 scale, with detailed prompt criteria provided in the prompts/ directory of the GitHub repo.

Dataset Structure

Each example in the dataset has the following structure:

{
    "id": "unique_document_id",
    "content": "Main text content of the document",
    "source": "domain_name",  # e.g., "arxiv", "github", "wikipedia", etc.
    "professionalism": int,   # 0-5
    "readability": int,       # 0-5
    "reasoning": int,         # 0-5
    "cleanliness": int        # 0-5
}

Usage

Loading the Dataset

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the full PRRC rater dataset
dataset = load_dataset("opendatalab/Meta-rater-PRRC-Rater-dataset")

# Access splits
train = dataset["train"]
dev = dataset["validation"]
test = dataset["test"]

Applications

• Supervised training of PRRC rater models (e.g., ModernBERT)
• Benchmarking and evaluation of text quality raters
• Prompt engineering and ablation studies for quality annotation
• Data-centric LLM research: Understanding the impact of different quality dimensions

Annotation Process

• Initial annotation: Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct (and/or human) rates each sample for all four PRRC dimensions using detailed prompts
• Quality control: Manual review and cleaning
• Splitting: Data is split into train/dev/test for robust evaluation
