Ok, and in regular english?
Well the DOI is a digital identifier for papers and other data references for sciency stuff. But that DOI just points to the actual paper https://www.arxiv.org/pdf/2502.00627
Link to where the archive is https://zenodo.org/records/15170676 but its been restricted from downloading
EDIT: lol I love the Internet Archive Its 120GiB if anyone wants to try download it and see if it works.

The only error I can see is "the data is" should be "the data are". Stylistically I would also change utilizing to using, which conveys exactly the same meaning and is more accessible.
Otherwise I believe this is regular English. It's ok to have difficulty comprehending language, but it's more productive to ask questions about the parts you don't understand.
Can I help with any specific questions?
The data is correct English in this context. I was talking more about DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.146585059.
But others have said what it is.
Anything that people write is correct really, like language is created by anyone making sounds or patterns to share meaning.
Data is a plural though, seppo dominance using it as singular is changing it outside that miserable empire but it's one of my hangups haha.
