gpt-2-output-dataset

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!

Download

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.

There, you will find files:

• webtext.${split}.jsonl
• small-117M.${split}.jsonl
• small-117M-k40.${split}.jsonl
• medium-345M.${split}.jsonl
• medium-345M-k40.${split}.jsonl
• large-762M.${split}.jsonl
• large-762M-k40.${split}.jsonl
• xl-1542M.${split}.jsonl
• xl-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.

Finetuned model samples

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.

Detectability baselines

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.
