Dataset Card for Common Crawl Domain Names

Dataset Summary

Corpus of domain names scraped from Common Crawl and manually annotated to add word boundaries (e.g. "commoncrawl" to "common crawl").

Breaking domain names such as "openresearch" into component words "open" and "research" is important for applications such as Text-to-Speech synthesis and web search. Common Crawl is an open repository of web crawl data that can be accessed and analyzed by anyone. Specifically, we scraped the plaintext (WET) extracts for domain names from URLs that contained diverse letter casing (e.g. "OpenBSD"). Although in the previous example, segmentation is trivial using letter casing, this was not always the case (e.g. "NASA"), so we had to manually annotate the data.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

  • Web search

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

Each sample is an example of space separated segments of a domain name. The examples are stored in their original letter casing, but harder and more interesting examples can be generated by lowercasing the input first.

For example:

Open B S D
NASA
ASAP Workouts

Data Fields

  • example: a string feature: space separated segments of a domain name.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The dataset was curated by scraping the plaintext (WET) extracts for domain names from URLs that contained diverse letter casing (e.g. "OpenBSD"). Although in the previous example, segmentation is trivial using letter casing, this was not always the case (e.g. "NASA"), so the curators of the dataset had to manually annotate the data.
