# OLDI Seed Machine Translation Datacard |
|
|
|
OLDI Seed is a machine translation dataset designed to be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Details |
|
|
|
### Dataset Description |
|
|
|
OLDI Seed is a parallel corpus which consists of 6,193 sentences sampled from English Wikipedia and translated into 44 languages. It can be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets. |
|
|
|
The data, which is licensed under [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), is currently being managed by OLDI, the [Open Language Data Initiative](https://oldi.org). |
|
|
|
- **Curated by:** [The Open Language Data Initiative](https://oldi.org/) |
|
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Around 40, see documentation for full list. |

|
### Dataset Sources |
|
|
|
OLDI Seed is an updated version of the open source seed dataset described in the paper [Small Data, Big Impact: Leveraging Minimal Data for Effective Machine Translation](https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.154): |
|
|
|
```bibtex |

|
author = {Maillard, Jean and Gao, Cynthia and Kalbassi, Elahe and Sadagopan, Kaushik Ram and Goswami, Vedanuj and Koehn, Philipp and Fan, Angela and Guzmán, Francisco}, |
|
booktitle = {Proceedings of the 61st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers)}, |

|
## Uses |
|
|
|
OLDI Seed is intended to be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
Each instance in the dataset is structured as in the following example: |
|
|
|
```json |
|
{ |
|
"id": 17, |
|
"iso_639_3": "gug", |
|
"iso_15924": "Latn", |
|
"glottocode": "para1311", |
|
"text": "Osẽ emperatriz viuda Maria Feodorovna-ramo peteĩ musical de Broadway mbykymi héravaa Anya 1965 arýpe.", |
|
"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian_Gish", |
|
"last_updated": "1.0" |
|
} |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Data Fields |
|
- `id`: ID number for each line of data. Lines with the same ID in the same split are translations of each other. |
|
- `iso_639_3`: The ISO 639-3 code indicating the language variety. |
|
- `iso_15924`: The ISO 15924 code indicating the script. |
|
- `glottocode`: The [Glottocode](https://glottolog.org/glottolog/language) corresponding to the language variety. |
|
- `text`: A line of text in the indicated language. |
|
- `url`: The URL for the English article from which the sentence was extracted. |
|
- `last_updated`: The version number of the dataset in which the entry was last updated. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Creation |

|
### Additional Datacards |
|
|
|
The datasets for some language varieties have individual datacards describing their creation. These can be found in the [dataset_cards](https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/oldi_seed/tree/main/dataset_cards) directory. |
