dataset I have every publicly available Reddit comment for research. ~ 1.7 billion comments @ 250 GB compressed. Any interest in this?

1.2k Upvotes

I am currently doing a massive analysis of Reddit's entire publicly available comment dataset. The dataset is ~1.7 billion JSON objects complete with the comment, score, author, subreddit, position in comment tree and other fields that are available through Reddit's API.

I'm currently doing NLP analysis and also putting the entire dataset into a large searchable database using Sphinxsearch (also testing ElasticSearch).

This dataset is over 1 terabyte uncompressed, so this would be best for larger research projects. If you're interested in a sample month of comments, that can be arranged as well. I am trying to find a place to host this large dataset -- I'm reaching out to Amazon since they have open data initiatives.

EDIT: I'm putting up a Digital Ocean box with 2 TB of bandwidth and will throw an entire months worth of comments up (~ 5 gigs compressed) It's now a torrent. This will give you guys an opportunity to examine the data. The file is structured with JSON blocks delimited by new lines (\n).

UPDATE (Saturday 2015-07-03 13:26 ET)

I'm getting a huge response from this and won't be able to immediately reply to everyone. I am pinging some people who are helping. There are two major issues at this point. Getting the data from my local system to wherever and figuring out bandwidth (since this is a very large dataset). Please keep checking for new updates. I am working to make this data publicly available ASAP. If you're a larger organization or university and have the ability to help seed this initially (will probably require 100 TB of bandwidth to get it rolling), please let me know. If you can agree to do this, I'll give your organization priority over the data first.

UPDATE 2 (15:18)

I've purchased a seedbox. I'll be updating the link above to the sample file. Once I can get the full dataset to the seedbox, I'll post the torrent and magnet link to that as well. I want to thank /u/hak8or for all his help during this process. It's been a while since I've created torrents and he has been a huge help with explaining how it all works. Thanks man!

UPDATE 3 (21:09)

I'm creating the complete torrent. There was an issue with my seedbox not allowing public trackers for uploads, so I had to create a private tracker. I should have a link up shortly to the massive torrent. I would really appreciate it if people at least seed at 1:1 ratio -- and if you can do more, that's even better! The size looks to be around ~160 GB -- a bit less than I thought.

UPDATE 4 (00:49 July 4)

I'm retiring for the evening. I'm currently seeding the entire archive to two seedboxes plus two other people. I'll post the link tomorrow evening once the seedboxes are at 100%. This will help prevent choking the upload from my home connection if too many people jump on at once. The seedboxes upload at around 35MB a second in the best case scenario. We should be good tomorrow evening when I post it. Happy July 4'th to my American friends!

UPDATE 5 (14:44)

Send more beer! The seedboxes are around 75% and should be finishing up within the next 8 hours. My next update before I retire for the night will be a magnet link to the main archive. Thanks!

UPDATE 6 (20:17)

This is the update you've been waiting for!

The entire archive:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7690f71ea949b868080401c749e878f98de34d3d&dn=reddit%5Fdata&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.pushshift.io%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80

Please seed!

UPDATE 7 (July 11 14:19)

User /u/fhoffa has done a lot of great work making this data available within Google's BigQuery. Please check out this link for more information: /r/bigquery/comments/3cej2b/17_billion_reddit_comments_loaded_on_bigquery/

Awesome work!

The full Epstein document dump from justice.gov is publicly available but practically unsearchable. I indexed all 1.4 million files and built a search interface over them.

Also used this GitHub repo which has extra metadata, transcriptions for scanned docs, and organized file listings: https://github.com/rhowardstone/Epstein-research-data

discussion Congrats! Web scraping is legal! (US precedent)

377 Upvotes

Disputes about whether web scraping is legal have been going on for a long time. And now, a couple of months ago, the scandalous case of web scraping between hiQ v. LinkedIn was completed.

You can read about the progress of the case here: US court fully legalized website scraping and technically prohibited it.

Finally, the court concludes: "Giving companies like LinkedIn the freedom to decide who can collect and use data – data that companies do not own, that is publicly available to everyone, and that these companies themselves collect and use – creates a risk of information monopolies that will violate the public interest”.

dataset Metadata for 2.6 million Pornhub videos spanning 320k playlists NSFW

356 Upvotes

I scraped metadata for 2.6M pornhub videos based on the 320k most recently updated playlists as of mid-July 2019. In total, the data is 350MB in compressed json form, separated into playlist, video, and matching/cross-referencing files. They're directly downloadable from these links:

https://datahub.io/racydata/final/r/dfp.json.gz (14MB)

https://datahub.io/racydata/final/r/dfv.json.gz (120MB)

https://datahub.io/racydata/final/r/dfm.json.gz (210MB)

And here's an example jupyter notebook that uses the matching data (40 million pairs of (videoid,playlistid)) to make a sparse matrix with dimensions of (number of unique videos x number of playlists) and reduce the dimensionality with SVD. Then you can get "recommendations" for playlists/videos similar to a particular playlist/video based on the distance in this reduced dimensional space.

https://gist.github.com/racydata/92ae85ea47da7c2d0bf50442bb0e83ea

The notebook also shows what columns you can play with in those three files.

dataset The Big Porn Dataset - Over 20 million Video URLs NSFW

259 Upvotes

The Big Porn Dataset is the largest and most comprehensive collection of adult content available on the web. With an amount of 23.686.411 Video URLs it exceeds possibly every other Porn Dataset.

I got quite a lot of feedback. I've removed unnecessary tags (some I couldn't include due to the size of the dataset) and added others.

Use Cases

Since many people said my previous dataset was a "useless dataset", I will include Use Cases for each column.

  • Website - Analyze what website has the most videos, analyze trends based on the website.

  • URL - Webscrape the URLs to obtain metadata from the models or scrape comments ("https://pornhub.com/comment/show?id={video_id}}&limit=10&popular=1&what=video"). 😉

  • Title - Train a LLM to generate your own titles. See below.

  • Tags - Analyze the tags based on plattform, which ones appear the most, etc.

  • Upload Date - Analyze preferences based on upload date.

  • Video ID - Useful for webscraping comments, etc.

Large Language Model

I have trained a Large Language Model on all English titles. I won't publish it, but I'll show you examples of what you can do with The Big Porn Dataset.

Generated titles:

  • F...ing My Stepmom While She Talks Dirty

  • Ho.ny Latina Slu..y Girl Wants Ha..core An.l S.x

  • Solo teen p...y play

  • B.g t.t teen gets f....d hard

  • S.xy E..ny Girlfriend

(I censored them because... no.)

Note: This dataset contains sensitive content and is intended solely for research and educational purposes. 😉 Please ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and guidelines when using this data. Use responsibly. 😊
