Spanish is a beautiful language and it has many ways of referring to people, neutralizing the genders and using some of the resources inside the language. One would say *Todas las personas asistentes* instead of *Todos los asistentes* and it would end in a more inclusive way for talking about people. This dataset collects a set of manually anotated examples of gendered-to-neutral spanish transformations.

The intended use of this dataset is to train a spanish language model for translating from gendered to neutral, in order to have more inclusive sentences.

### Compiled sources

One of the major challenges was to obtain a valuable dataset that would suit gender inclusion purpose, therefore, when building the dataset, the team opted to dedicate a considerable amount of time to build it from a scratch. You can find here the results.

The data used for the model training has been manually created form a compilation of sources, obtained from a series of guidelines and manuals issued by Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality in the matter of the usage of non-sexist language, stipulated in this linked [document](https://www.inmujeres.gob.es/servRecursos/formacion/GuiasLengNoSexista/docs/Guiaslenguajenosexista_.pdf).

**NOTE: Appart from manually anotated samples, this dataset has been further increased by applying data augmentation so a minumin number of training examples are generated.**
