| # OLDI Seed Machine Translation Datacard |
|
|
| OLDI Seed is a machine translation dataset designed to be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets. |
|
|
|
|
| ## Dataset Details |
|
|
| ### Dataset Description |
|
|
| OLDI Seed is a parallel corpus which consists of 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. |
|
|
| The data, which is licensed under [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), is currently being managed by OLDI, the [Open Language Data Initiative](https://oldi.org). |
|
|
| - **Curated by:** [The Open Language Data Initiative](https://oldi.org/) |
| - **Language(s) (NLP):** Around 40, see documentation for full list. |
| - **License:** [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) |
|
|
| ### Citation |
|
|
| OLDI Seed is an updated version of the open source seed dataset described in the paper [Small Data, Big Impact: Leveraging Minimal Data for Effective Machine Translation](https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.154). |
|
|
| Other authors have since contributed to the dataset. If you use OLDI Seed in your work, please cite the relevant papers listed in [bibliography.bib](bibliography.bib). |
|
|
| ## Uses |
|
|
| OLDI Seed is intended to be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets. |
|
|
| ## Dataset Structure |
|
|
| Each instance in the dataset is structured as in the following example: |
|
|
| ```json |
| { |
| "id": 17, |
| "iso_639_3": "gug", |
| "iso_15924": "Latn", |
| "glottocode": "para1311", |
| "text": "Osẽ emperatriz viuda Maria Feodorovna-ramo peteĩ musical de Broadway mbykymi héravaa Anya 1965 arýpe.", |
| "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian_Gish", |
| "last_updated": "1.0" |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Data Fields |
| - `id`: ID number for each line of data. Lines with the same ID in the same split are translations of each other. |
| - `iso_639_3`: The ISO 639-3 code indicating the language variety. |
| - `iso_15924`: The ISO 15924 code indicating the script. |
| - `glottocode`: The [Glottocode](https://glottolog.org/glottolog/language) corresponding to the language variety. |
| - `text`: A line of text in the indicated language. |
| - `url`: The URL for the English article from which the sentence was extracted. |
| - `last_updated`: The version number of the dataset in which the entry was last updated. |
|
|
| ## Dataset Creation |
|
|
| See the paper [Small Data, Big Impact: Leveraging Minimal Data for Effective Machine Translation](https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.154) and the [NLLB paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.04672#page=18.71) for more details. |
|
|
| ### Additional Datacards |
|
|
| The datasets for some language varieties have individual datacards describing their creation. These can be found in the [dataset_cards](https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/oldi_seed/tree/main/dataset_cards) directory. |
|

|
|
| ## Contributing |
|
|
| Fixes and new language contributions are most welcome. |
|
|
| By contributing to this project you agree to the [Developer Certificate of |
| Origin (DCO)](DCO). This document was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a |
| simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the |
| contribution. |
|
|
| In order to show your agreement with the DCO you should include at the end of commit message, |
| the following line: `Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>`, using your real name. |
|
|
| This can be done easily using the `-s` flag on the `git commit`. |
|
|
| Please see the [Contribution guidelines](https://oldi.org/guidelines) for further information. |
|
|
| ### How to add a pull request |
|
|
| 1. Go to https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/oldi_seed/discussions, press "New pull request". |
| 2. In the popup window, enter a branch name and press "Create branch". |
| 3. On your computer, do `git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/oldi_seed`. |
| 4. Checkout to your newly created branch (e.g. `cd oldi_seed && git fetch origin refs/pr/4:pr/4 && git checkout pr/4`). |
| 5. Check that you are logged in to the HF CLI tool (`hf auth whoami`). If not, please log into it (`hf auth login` and enter your token). |
| 6. Modify a file (for adding new languages, see the instructions below) and add the changes to git (e.g. `git add seed/rus_Cyrl.jsonl`). |
| 7. Commit with an -s flag (e.g. `git commit -s -m "fix a few typos in the Russian dev set"`). |
| 8. Push (e.g. `git push origin pr/4:refs/pr/4`) — important to make sure to push to the same "refs" branch! |
| 9. Go to the pull request page and see if it reflects your changes. |
| 10. When your pull request is ready, press the "Publish" button in its web interface. |
|
|
| If you find this difficult, please contact us by email `info@oldi.org` or in our [Discord group](https://discord.gg/jJmrw3E77u)! |
|
|
| ### Testing your changes |
|
|
| After contributing new translations or modifying existing ones, you can check that the data format is OK. |
| Assuming that you have the Python packages `pytest` and `dataset` installed, you can type |
| ``` |
| pytest |
| ``` |
| in your console (in the `oldi_seed` directory), and the tests will run. |
| If any of them fails, please inspect the translations, following the hints in the test output. |
