## Dataset Description
- **Homepage:** https://opus.nlpl.eu/CCMatrix.php
- **Repository:** None
- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.04944
### Dataset Summary

This corpus has been extracted from web crawls using the margin-based bitext mining techniques described at https://github.com/facebookresearch/LASER/tree/master/tasks/CCMatrix.

* 90 languages, 1,197 bitexts
* total number of files: 90
* total number of tokens: 112.14G
* total number of sentence fragments: 7.37G

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
[More Information Needed]
### Languages

To load a language pair which isn't part of the config, all you need to do is specify the language code as pairs.
You can find the valid pairs in Homepage section of Dataset Description: https://opus.nlpl.eu/CCMatrix.php
E.g.

```
dataset = load_dataset("yhavinga/ccmatrix", lang1="en", lang2="nl")
```

## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
For example:

```json
{
        "id": 1,
        "score": 1.2498379,
        "translation": {
            "nl": "En we moeten elke waarheid vals noemen die niet minstens door een lach vergezeld ging.”",
            "en": "And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.”"
        }
    }
```

### Data Fields
Each example contains an integer id starting with 0, a score, and a translation dictionary with the language 1 and
language 2 texts.

### Data Splits
Only a `train` split is provided.
