🏀nlySports Dataset
Overview
OnlySports Dataset is a comprehensive collection of English sports documents, comprising a diverse range of content including news articles, blogs, match reports, interviews, and tutorials. This dataset is part of the larger OnlySports collection, which includes:

The OnlySports Dataset can be used for various purposes, including:
- Training domain-specific language models for sports
- Conducting research on sports-related natural language processing tasks
- Developing applications for sports content analysis and generation
OnlySportsLM
As part of the OnlySports collection, the OnlySportsLM was trained on this dataset. Key features of the model include:
- 196M parameters
- Based on the RWKV-v6 architecture
- 20-layer, 640-dimension structure
- Trained on approximately half of the OnlySports Dataset (315B tokens)
