Dataset Creation
The dataset curation procedure was the same as the XNLI dataset: we translated the MultiNLI training data using the English to Bangla translation model introduced here. Due to the possibility of incursions of error during automatic translation, we used the Language-Agnostic BERT Sentence Embeddings (LaBSE) of the translations and original sentences to compute their similarity. All sentences below a similarity threshold of 0.70 were discarded.
