# OPUS-100-Fixed: Tokenisation-Improved English-Maltese Dataset

## Overview

OPUS-100-Fixed is an updated version of the [OPUS-100](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Helsinki-NLP/opus-100) parallel English-Maltese dataset.
This version addresses tokenisation inconsistencies in the Maltese text using the MLRS tokeniser, aiming to improve machine translation quality.
The `"en"` column is the same as in the original OPUS-100 data, while the `"mt"` column has been corrected with the [MLRS detokeniser](https://mlrs.research.um.edu.mt/).
