**This dataset card is still a draft version. The dataset has not been uploaded yet.** |
|
|
|
This is a record of German language paraphrases. These are text pairs that have the same meaning but are expressed in different words. |
|
The source of the paraphrases are different parallel German / English text corpora. |
|
The English texts were machine translated back into German. This is how the paraphrases were obtained. |

## Back translation |
|
We have made the back translation from English to German with the help of [Fairseq](https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairseq). |
|
We used the `transformer.wmt19.en-de` model for this purpose: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
en2de = torch.hub.load( |
|
"pytorch/fairseq", |
|
"transformer.wmt19.en-de", |
|
checkpoint_file="model1.pt:model2.pt:model3.pt:model4.pt", |
|
tokenizer="moses", |
|
bpe="fastbpe", |
|
) |
|
``` |
