Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At https://www.deepspeed.ai/tutorials/bert-pretraining/#training-data-setup, DeepSpeed team noted that downloading and pre-processing instructions are coming soon. However, I haven't found any new instructions uploaded to the website for about two or three months. I have no idea on how to contact the team via e-mail, thus I'm here looking for some help. Thanks a lot!

Describe the solution you'd like
Could you please post instructions for the pre-processing stage in BERT pre-training to the website? Or at least give some references on how to pre-process the dataset?

Research direction

Review the BERT pre-training tutorial's training-data-setup section at https://www.deepspeed.ai/tutorials/bert-pretraining/#training-data-setup and determine what downloading and preprocessing guidance is missing. Done means the website contains usable preprocessing instructions or references for the dataset.
