What problem does it solve?
NeMo Curator removes the slow, manual work of preparing large training datasets by filtering low-quality content, deduplicating near matches, redacting sensitive data, and scaling the whole workflow across GPUs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Quality Filtering: Apply 30+ heuristics to remove short, repetitive, noisy, or low-value documents before training.
- Deduplication: Handle exact, fuzzy, and semantic duplicates to reduce redundancy in web-scale corpora.
- Multimodal Curation: Work with text, images, video, and audio datasets for LLM and multimodal model preparation.
- Privacy and Safety: Redact PII and screen for NSFW or otherwise unsafe content during dataset cleanup.
- Use Case: A data team can take raw Common Crawl exports, filter them for quality, deduplicate them, redact personal information, and export a cleaner parquet dataset for model training.
Quick Start
Use the nemo-curator skill to clean a parquet dataset by filtering low-quality records, removing duplicates, and redacting any sensitive information.
