What problem does it solve?
NeMo Curator helps you turn messy, duplicate-heavy, and low-quality web data into high-quality, deduplicated training datasets for LLMs, while reducing privacy risks through PII redaction and filtering unsafe content.
Core Features & Use Cases
- GPU-accelerated curation: Performs fast fuzzy deduplication and quality filtering using RAPIDS for large-scale datasets.
- Multimodal support: Handles text plus image/video/audio curation workflows for modern LLM training pipelines.
- Safety and privacy controls: Applies PII redaction and NSFW detection to reduce harmful or sensitive content.
- Use case example: You have a multi-terabyte web scrape (e.g., Common Crawl) and need to deduplicate near-matches, remove low-quality/toxic items, redact PII, and export a curated Parquet dataset for training.
Quick Start
Use the nemo-curator tool to fuzzy-deduplicate and quality-filter a Parquet dataset, then redact PII and write the curated output back to Parquet.
