+ # Europarl Scandinavian Languages
30
+
31
+ The data originates from the Europarl parallel corpus, where English transcriptions of parliamentary discussions were aligned
32
+ with a number of other languages algorithmically.
33
+
34
+ In order to align Danish and Swedish corpora in the dataset, English entries were hashed with 128bit Murmurhash3,
35
+ and the Danish and Swedish transcriptions were joined on the obtained hash values.
36
+ Entries that had more than one pair in the other dataset were removed, this ensures that no false positives due to hash collisions
37
+ got into the dataset.
38
+ Source code is available in the repository.
39
+
40
+ The dataset was created for aiding the training of sentence transformer models in the Danish Foundation Models project.
