|
|
### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
The CA-FR Parallel Corpus is a Catalan-French dataset of parallel sentences created to support Catalan in NLP tasks, specifically |
|
Machine Translation. |
|
|
|
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards |
|
|
|
The dataset can be used to train Bilingual Machine Translation models between French and Catalan in any direction, |
|
as well as Multilingual Machine Translation models. |
|
|
|
### Languages |
|
|
|
The sentences included in the dataset are in Catalan (CA) and French (FR). |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
### Data Instances |
|
|
|
A single tsv file is provided with the sentences sorted in the same order and |
|
a header containing the two-letter ISO language code for the language in each column: |
|
ca-fr_corpus.tsv. |
|
|
|
### Data Fields |
|
|
|
[N/A] |
|
|
|
### Data Splits |
|
|
|
The dataset contains a single split: `train`. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
This dataset is aimed at promoting the development of Machine Translation between Catalan and other languages, specifically French. |
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization |
|
|
|
The corpus is a combination of the following original datasets collected from [Opus](https://opus.nlpl.eu/): |
|
CCMatrix, Multi CCAligned, WikiMatrix, GNOME, KDE 4, Open Subtitles. |
|
|
|
All datasets are deduplicated and filtered to remove any sentence pairs with a cosine similarity of less than 0.75. |
|
This is done using sentence embeddings calculated using [LaBSE](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/LaBSE). |
|
The filtered datasets are then concatenated to form the final corpus. |
|
|
|
#### Who are the source language producers? |
|
|
|
[Opus](https://opus.nlpl.eu/) |
|
|
|
### Annotations |
|
|
|
#### Annotation process |
|
|
|
The dataset does not contain any annotations. |
|
|
|
#### Who are the annotators? |
|
|
|

|
|
### Personal and Sensitive Information |
|
|
|
Given that this dataset is partly derived from pre-existing datasets that may contain crawled data, and that no specific anonymisation process has been applied, |
|
personal and sensitive information may be present in the data. This needs to be considered when using the data for training models. |
|
|
|
## Considerations for Using the Data |
|
|
|
### Social Impact of Dataset |
|
|
|
By providing this resource, we intend to promote the use of Catalan across NLP tasks, thereby improving the accessibility and visibility of the Catalan language. |
|
|
|
### Discussion of Biases |
|
|
|
No specific bias mitigation strategies were applied to this dataset. |
|
Inherent biases may exist within the data. |
|
|
|
### Other Known Limitations |
|
|
|
The dataset contains data of a general domain. Applications of this dataset in more specific domains such as biomedical, legal etc. would be of limited use. |
