# Dataset Card for LuxAlign

## Updates
⚠️ **A newer version of this dataset is available.**  
Although this is the original dataset described in the [paper](https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2412.03331), a revised version of the dataset is available at [https://huggingface.co/datasets/fredxlpy/LuxAlign](https://huggingface.co/datasets/fredxlpy/LuxAlign).

## Dataset Summary
LuxAlign is a parallel dataset featuring Luxembourgish-English and Luxembourgish-French sentence pairs, introduced in [*LuxEmbedder: A Cross-Lingual Approach to Enhanced Luxembourgish Sentence Embeddings (Philippy et al., 2024)*](https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2412.03331). Designed to align the Luxembourgish embedding space with those of other languages, it enables improved cross-lingual sentence representations for Luxemborgish. This dataset was used to train the Luxembourgish sentence embedding model [**LuxEmbedder**](https://huggingface.co/fredxlpy/LuxEmbedder). The data originates from news articles published by the Luxembourgish news platform [RTL.lu](https://www.rtl.lu).

The sentence pairs in this dataset are not always exact translations but instead reflect high semantic similarity; hence, this dataset may not be suitable for training a machine translation model without caution.
