Verah/JParaCrawl-Filtered-English-Japanese-Parallel-Corpus

Introduction

This is a LLM-filtered set of the first 1M rows from ntt's JParaCrawl v3 large English-Japanese parallel corpus.

The original JParaCrawl corpus was put together by automated means - aligning Japanese texts with their apparent English translations that were found in-the-wild, on the internet.

Whilst manually browsing the original data, I noticed that there were obvious quality issues that made me anxious about using the dataset at all. Poorly aligned translations, incomplete translations, etc.

The goal of this dataset is to split the entire original dataset into its good and bad parts to:

• facilitate further research
• make available a high quality dataset
• investigate the performance of various LLMs at evaluating the dataset.

The new upload includes filtering by an additional LLM, its results are "model2_accepted": https://huggingface.co/Verah/mistral-japanese-stabalelm-merge

I merged mistral instruct with stability AI's new japanese LLM, and this seems to have resulted in a model with enough knowledge of english and japanese to be competent at this task. It is likely that a finetune would further improve results. This new model accepted only 260,058 rows from the 1M seen, whilst the previous model was around twice as permissive.

Prompt used with the new model:

from inspect import cleandoc

def promptgen_mistral(japanese :str, english :str) -> str:
    system_prompt = cleandoc("""<s>[INST]Your role is to evaluate the accuracy of the provided Japanese to English translation.

    return system_prompt + f"JAPANESE: {japanese}\nENGLISH: {english}[/INST]\n"
