OLDI Seed Machine Translation Data
This repository hosts the open source seed dataset described in the paper Small Data, Big Impact: Leveraging Minimal Data for Effective Machine Translation. The data, which is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, is currently being managed by OLDI, the Open Language Data Initiative.
Data
The parallel corpus currently contains 6,193 sentences sampled from English Wikipedia and translated into 44 languages. It can be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets.
