### Dataset Summary

The Language Identification dataset is a collection of 90k samples consisting of text passages and corresponding language label. 
This dataset was created by collecting data from 3 sources: [Multilingual Amazon Reviews Corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/amazon_reviews_multi), [XNLI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/xnli), and [STSb Multi MT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/stsb_multi_mt).


### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset can be used to train a model for language identification, which is a **multi-class text classification** task.
The model [papluca/xlm-roberta-base-language-detection](https://huggingface.co/papluca/xlm-roberta-base-language-detection), which is a fine-tuned version of [xlm-roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base), was trained on this dataset and currently achieves 99.6% accuracy on the test set.

### Languages

The Language Identification dataset contains text in 20 languages, which are:

`arabic (ar), bulgarian (bg), german (de), modern greek (el), english (en), spanish (es), french (fr), hindi (hi), italian (it), japanese (ja), dutch (nl), polish (pl), portuguese (pt), russian (ru), swahili (sw), thai (th), turkish (tr), urdu (ur), vietnamese (vi), and chinese (zh)`
