# indo4b_plus

Indo4B-Plus is an extension of Indo4B, a large-scale Indonesian self-supervised pre-training corpus. 

    Indo4B-Plus extend Indo4B by adding two low-resource Indonesian local languages to the corpus, i.e., Sundanese and Javanese.

    Indo4B-Plus adds 82,582,025 words (∼2.07%) of Sundanese sentences and 331,041,877 words (∼8.29%) of Javanese

## Dataset Usage

Run `pip install nusacrowd` before loading the dataset through HuggingFace's `load_dataset`.

        abstract = "Natural language generation (NLG) benchmarks provide an important avenue to measure progress 
        and develop better NLG systems. Unfortunately, the lack of publicly available NLG benchmarks for low-resource 
        languages poses a challenging barrier for building NLG systems that work well for languages with limited 
        amounts of data. Here we introduce IndoNLG, the first benchmark to measure natural language generation (NLG)
        progress in three low-resource{---}yet widely spoken{---}languages of Indonesia: Indonesian, Javanese, and Sundanese. 
        Altogether, these languages are spoken by more than 100 million native speakers, and hence constitute an important 
        use case of NLG systems today. Concretely, IndoNLG covers six tasks: summarization, question answering, chit-chat, 
        and three different pairs of machine translation (MT) tasks. We collate a clean pretraining corpus of Indonesian, 
        Sundanese, and Javanese datasets, Indo4B-Plus, which is used to pretrain our models: IndoBART and IndoGPT. 
        We show that IndoBART and IndoGPT achieve competitive performance on all tasks{---}despite using only one-fifth
        the parameters of a larger multilingual model, mBART-large (Liu et al., 2020). This finding emphasizes 
        the importance of pretraining on closely related, localized languages to achieve more efficient learning and faster inference 
        at very low-resource languages like Javanese and Sundanese.",
