## 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

Configs are generated for all language pairs in both directions.
You can find the valid pairs in Homepage section of Dataset Description: https://opus.nlpl.eu/CCMatrix.php
E.g.

```
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("yhavinga/ccmatrix", "en-nl", streaming=True)
```

This will open the `en-nl` dataset in streaming mode. Without streaming, download and prepare will take tens of minutes.
You can inspect elements with:

```
print(next(iter(dataset['train'])))
{'id': 0, 'score': 1.2499677, 'translation': {'en': 'They come from all parts of Egypt, just like they will at the day of His coming.', 'nl': 'Zij kwamen uit alle delen van Egypte, evenals zij op de dag van Zijn komst zullen doen.'}}
```

## 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.
