Questions about HPLT monolingual v1.2 coverage and older web data
Hi HPLT team and community,
Thanks for sharing HPLT monolingual v1.2 — it’s a great resource for multilingual and large-scale web text research!
I’m currently working on a project that looks at historical web data, and I have a few questions:
Does HPLT v1.2 include any older web content (e.g., pre-2008), or is it mostly focused on more recent crawls?
Are there recommended approaches or complementary datasets for covering 2008–2013 web pages to pair with HPLT?
Have community members combined HPLT with other archives (e.g., Common Crawl, Internet Archive) to reconstruct earlier web snapshots? If so, any best practices or tools for deduplication and integration?
Any tips, links, or shared experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!😀
Best,
Patrick
