Cleaning Pipeline

Integrated with OpenThaiGPT/data-processing patterns:

  1. Unicode NFC normalization + cc_net punctuation normalization + invisible/non-printing char removal
  2. Content cleaning: strip URLs, emails, HTML tags, iframes, markup, IPs, hashtags
  3. Encoding corruption detection: GHOST (double-encoding), NONECHAR (invalid Thai codepoints), NONE_TONE_MARK (OCR artifacts)
  4. Quality filtering: Thai ratio >= 30%, text length 100-500K chars, garbled ratio < 10%
  5. Exact hash deduplication (MD5)
  6. Stratified 90/5/5 split by source

Intended Use

  • Continual Pre-Training (CPT) of Thai language models for legal domain
  • Legal citation analysis and knowledge graph construction
  • Legal text analysis and information retrieval

Limitations

  • Supreme Court rulings may contain archaic Thai legal terminology
  • Some older statutory records may have OCR artifacts from source
  • Year metadata is best-effort extraction from text
  • Citation extraction is regex-based and may miss some references
