    The README describes the pipeline steps: hashes "downloads one Common-Crawl snapshot, and compute hashes for each paragraph" and mine "removes duplicates, detects language, run the LM and split by lang/perplexity buckets", with a "dl_cc_100.py" script for CC-100 and KenLM installed for the language models.
