+ # Akkadian English Corpus
13
+ This dataset is a cleaned English-translated Akkadian language dataset. This dataset can and has been used for text genreration tasks, for example to fine-tune LLMs.
14
+
15
+ # How it was generated
16
+ Please visit my Github repo (tbd) which explains the steps that were taken to prepare this dataset for a text generation task.
17
+
18
+ At a high level, these are steps that were taken:
19
+ - Sourced a high-quality dataset of English-translated Akkadian by experts
20
+ - Enforced a minimum line length
21
+ - Removed textual notes and other generic notes within parantheses
22
+ - Inserted translation notes and literal notes in place (preserving grammar and adding clarity to the corpus)

+ Credit for the aggregation of the raw data belongs to the [Akkademia](https://github.com/gaigutherz/Akkademia/tree/master) project. Specifically, the aggregated data file used is linked [here](https://github.com/gaigutherz/Akkademia/blob/master/NMT_input/train.en) and was also used to train their SOTA neural machine translation Akkadian->English model as described in their recent [paper](https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/2/5/pgad096/7147349) Gutherz et. al 2023 [1].

27
+ Credit for the original source of the raw data belongs to the incredible Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus ([ORACC](http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/)) project [2]. Specifically, as noted by the Akkademia project above, the RINAP 1, 3, 4, and 5 datasets are the source of the original raw data.
