### Dataset Summary
This dataset comprises parallel sentences of hieroglyphic encodings, transcription and translation as used in the paper [Multi-Task Modeling of Phonographic Languages: Translating Middle Egyptian Hieroglyph](https://zenodo.org/record/3524924). The data triples are extracted from the [digital corpus of Egyptian texts](https://edoc.bbaw.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/2919) compiled by the project "Strukturen und Transformationen des Wortschatzes der ägyptischen Sprache".
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
[More Information Needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards)
### Languages
The dataset consists of parallel triples of
- `hieroglyphs`: [Encoding of the hieroglyphs with the [Gardiner's sign list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardiner%27s_sign_list)
- `transcription`: Transliteration of the above mentioned hieroglyphs with a [transliteration scheme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration_of_Ancient_Egyptian)
- `translation`: Translation in mostly German language (with some English mixed in)
## Dataset Structure
The dataset is not divided into 'train', 'dev' and 'test' splits as it was not built for competitive purposes and we encourage all scientists to use individual partitioning schemes to suit their needs (due to the low resource setting it might be advisable to use cross validation anyway). The only available split 'all' therefore comprises the full 100,708 translation triples, 35,503 of which possess hieroglyphic encodings (the remaining 65,205 triples have empty `hieroglyph` entries).
### Data Instances
An example of a data triple looks the following way:
```
{
"transcription": "n rḏi̯(.w) gꜣ =j r dbḥ.t m pr-ḥḏ",
"translation": "I was not let to suffer lack in the treasury with respect to what was needed;",
"hieroglyphs": "D35 D21 -D37 G1&W11 -V32B A1 D21 D46 -D58 *V28 -F18 *X1 -A2 G17 [? *O2 *?]"
}
```
*Important*: Only about a third of the instance actually cover hieroglyphic encodings (the rest is the empty string `""`) as the leftover encodings have not yet been incorporated into the BBAW's project database.
### Data Fields
#### plain_text
- `transcription`: a `string` feature.
- `translation`: a `string` feature.
- `hieroglyphs`: a `string` feature.

## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
[More Information Needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards)
### Source Data
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
The data source comes from the project "Strukturen und Transformationen des Wortschatzes der ägyptischen Sprache" which is compiling an extensively annotated digital corpus of Egyptian texts. Their [publication](https://edoc.bbaw.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/2919) comprises an excerpt of the internal database's contents.
#### Who are the source language producers?
[More Information Needed]
### Annotations
#### Annotation process
The corpus has not been preprocessed as we encourage every scientist to prepare the corpus to their desired needs. This means, that all textcritic symbols are still included in the transliteration and translation. This concerns the following annotations:
- `()`: defective
- `[]`: lost
- `{}`: surplus
- `〈〉`: omitted
- `⸢⸣`: damaged
- `⸮?`: unclear
- `{{}}`: erasure
- `(())`: above
- `[[]]`: overstrike
- `〈〈〉〉`: haplography
Their exists a similar sign list for the annotation of the hieroglyphic encoding. If you wish access to this list, please get in contact with the author.
