### Dataset Summary

`ELRC-Medical-V2` is a parallel corpus for neural machine translation funded by the [European Commission](http://www.lr-coordination.eu/) and coordinated by the [German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence](https://www.dfki.de/web).  

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

`translation`: The dataset can be used to train a model for translation.

### Languages

In our case, the corpora consists of a pair of source and target sentences for 23 differents languages from the European Union (EU) with as source language in each cases english (EN).

**List of languages :** `Bulgarian (bg)`,`Czech (cs)`,`Danish (da)`,`German (de)`,`Greek (el)`,`Spanish (es)`,`Estonian (et)`,`Finnish (fi)`,`French (fr)`,`Irish (ga)`,`Croatian (hr)`,`Hungarian (hu)`,`Italian (it)`,`Lithuanian (lt)`,`Latvian (lv)`,`Maltese (mt)`,`Dutch (nl)`,`Polish (pl)`,`Portuguese (pt)`,`Romanian (ro)`,`Slovak (sk)`,`Slovenian (sl)`,`Swedish (sv)`.

## Load the dataset with HuggingFace

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

NAME = "qanastek/ELRC-Medical-V2"

dataset = load_dataset(NAME, use_auth_token=True)
print(dataset)

dataset_train = load_dataset(NAME, "en-es", split='train[:90%]')
dataset_test = load_dataset(NAME, "en-es", split='train[10%:]')
print(dataset_train)
print(dataset_train[0])
print(dataset_test)
```

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

For details, check the corresponding [pages](https://elrc-share.eu/repository/search/?q=mfsp%3A87ef9e5e8ac411ea913100155d026706e19a1a9f908b463c944490c36ba2f454&page=3).

### Source Data

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The acquisition of bilingual data (from multilingual websites), normalization, cleaning, deduplication and identification of parallel documents have been done by [ILSP-FC tool](http://nlp.ilsp.gr/redmine/projects/ilsp-fc/wiki/Introduction). [Maligna aligner](https://github.com/loomchild/maligna) was used for alignment of segments. Merging/filtering of segment pairs has also been applied.

#### Who are the source language producers?

Every data of this corpora as been uploaded by [Vassilis Papavassiliou](mailto:vpapa@ilsp.gr) on [ELRC-Share](https://elrc-share.eu/repository/browse/bilingual-corpus-from-the-publications-office-of-the-eu-on-the-medical-domain-v2-en-fr/6b31b32e8ac411ea913100155d0267061547d9b3ec284584af19a2953baa8937/).

### Personal and Sensitive Information

The corpora is free of personal or sensitive information.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Other Known Limitations

The nature of the task introduce a variability in the quality of the target translations.
