text-dedup

text-dedup is a Python library that enables efficient deduplication of large text corpora by using MinHash and other probabilistic techniques to detect near-duplicate content. This is especially useful for NLP tasks where duplicated training data can skew model performance. text-dedup scales to billions of documents and offers tools for chunking, hashing, and comparing text efficiently with low memory usage. It supports Jaccard similarity thresholding, parallel execution, and flexible deduplication strategies, making it ideal for cleaning web-scraped data, language model training datasets, or document archives.
