Dataset Summary

Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalm, Manipuri, Punjabi, Oriya, Telugu, Tamil, Urdu, English

Dataset Structure

The data comes in .jsonl format, where each JSON object correspond to all the data extracted from a single article. Each JSON object has the following fields:

{article_number, ${lang1}_text, ${lang1}_summary, ${lang1}_url, ${lang2}_text, ${lang2}_summary, ${lang2}_url, ..., split} where ${lang}_text, ${lang}_summary, and ${lang}_url correspond to the text (document), summary (headline), and the source URL for each language ${lang} available for that article. split indicates the train/valid/test split of that entire article. Texts and summaries can be paired to form cross-lingual data pairs.

Unless you have a specific need, we request you to respect the split decision to prevent test data leakage, especially for multilingual models. You could refer to our paper for a detailed explanation.
