Dataset Summary
MegaWika is a multi- and crosslingual text dataset containing 30 million Wikipedia passages with their scraped and cleaned web citations. The passages span 50 Wikipedias in 50 languages, and the articles in which the passages were originally embedded are included for convenience. Where a Wikipedia passage is in a non-English language, an automated English translation is provided.
This dataset provides the data for report generation / multi-document summarization with information retrieval.
Dataset Creation
See the original HuggingFace repo.
Languages
MegaWika is divided by Wikipedia language. There are 50 languages, including English, each designated by their 2-character ISO language code. Currently only a few languages are available, but more are coming!
Dataset Structure
The dataset is divided into two main sections, "mono" for monolingual report generation and "cross-lingual" for cross-lingual report generation. t is further subdivided into two options, (1) generating the entire Wikipedia sections from multiple citations ("all") or (2) generating segments of each section in an iterative fashion ("iterative"). Then the dataset is divided by language pairs.
Data Instances
Given the rest of the fields (except for the ID) the goals is to produce the gold_section_text
(e.g. given the title, intro, section name, and citations).
num_docs
is provided for filtering on the number of docs for the multi-doc summarization. Note that in the iterative setting is it just one citation.
Data Fields
The detailed structure of an instance is as follows:
{
"id": <string : a unique id for the instance>
"num_docs": <int : the number of citations for this instance>
"title": <string : title of original Wikipedia article>
"intro": <string : text of the Wikipedia article's introduction>
"section_name": <string : the name of the section to generate>
"previous_text": <string : used for the iterative task format, the previous text in the section already to condition on>
"question": <string : a natural language question that could be used for query-focused summarization, generated by ChatGPT>
"gold_section_text": <string : the text of the original Wikipedia section, e.g. the gold label for summarization>
"citations": <list of strings : the text of the citations (e.g. reference) for the section/chunk >
}
