### Dataset Summary

`WMT-16-PubMed` is a parallel corpus for neural machine translation collected and aligned for ACL 2016 during the [WMT'16 Shared Task: Biomedical Translation Task](https://www.statmt.org/wmt16/biomedical-translation-task.html).  

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

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

### Languages

The corpora consists of a pair of source and target sentences for all 4 different languages :

**List of languages :** `English (en)`,`Spanish (es)`,`French (fr)`,`Portuguese (pt)`.

## Load the dataset with HuggingFace

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("qanastek/WMT-16-PubMed", split='train', download_mode='force_redownload')
print(dataset)
print(dataset[0])
```
