What is it?
Data-Juicer is a data processing framework for preparing training and retrieval data for large language models and other foundation models. It provides modular operators for tasks such as cleaning, filtering, deduplication, synthetic data generation and profiling, covering text, image, audio, video and multimodal inputs.
Pipelines are defined as YAML recipes that can be versioned and shared, and can also be composed directly in Python by chaining operators on a dataset. The same pipeline can run on a single machine or scale out on Ray clusters, with partitioned execution, checkpoints and export to local, S3 or HDFS storage.
The project also includes analysis and visualization tools for dataset statistics, tracing of changed samples, and an operator plugin mechanism for third-party extensions.
