This dataset contains:
- 250K documents from the WebText test set
- For each GPT-2 model (trained on the WebText training set), 250K random samples (temperature 1, no truncation) and 250K samples generated with Top-K 40 truncation
We look forward to the research produced using this data!
For each model, we have a training split of 250K generated examples, as well as validation and test splits of 5K examples.
All data is located in Google Cloud Storage, under the directory gs://gpt-2/output-dataset/v1. (NOTE: everything has been migrated to Azure https://openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net/gpt-2/output-dataset/v1/)
There, you will find files:
webtext.${split}.jsonlsmall-117M.${split}.jsonlsmall-117M-k40.${split}.jsonlmedium-345M.${split}.jsonlmedium-345M-k40.${split}.jsonllarge-762M.${split}.jsonllarge-762M-k40.${split}.jsonlxl-1542M.${split}.jsonlxl-1542M-k40.${split}.jsonl
where split is one of train, test, and valid.
We've provided a script to download all of them, in download_dataset.py.
Additionally, we encourage research on detection of finetuned models. We have released data under gs://gpt-2/output-dataset/v1-amazonfinetune/ with samples from a GPT-2 full model finetuned to output Amazon reviews.
We're interested in seeing research in detectability of GPT-2 model family generations.
We provide some initial analysis of two baselines, as well as code for the better baseline.
Overall, we are able to achieve accuracies in the mid-90s for Top-K 40 generations, and mid-70s to high-80s (depending on model size) for random generations. We also find some evidence that adversaries can evade detection via finetuning from released models.
