QED - The QCRI Educational Domain Corpus (formerly QCRI AMARA Corpus) is an open multilingual collection of subtitles for educational videos and lectures collaboratively transcribed and translated over the AMARA web-based platform.
It's developed by Qatar Computing Research Institute, Arabic Language Technologies Group. Along with English, it covers multiple SEA languages, such as vie (Vietnamese), mya (Burnmese), jav (Javanese), id (Indonesia), tha (Thai), tl (Tagalog),
ms (Malaysia).


## Languages

eng, vie, tha, mya, jav, ind, tgl, zlm, ceb, fil, khm, lao, mad, pam

## Supported Tasks

Machine Translation, Self Supervised Pretraining

## Dataset Usage
### Using `datasets` library
```
from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/qed", trust_remote_code=True)
```
### Using `seacrowd` library
```import seacrowd as sc
# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("qed", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("qed"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
```

    This corpus includes both resource-rich languages such as English and Arabic, and resource-poor languages such as Hindi and Thai. In this paper, we describe the gathering, validation, and preprocessing of a large collection of parallel,
    community-generated subtitles. Furthermore, we describe the methodology used to prepare the data for Machine Translation tasks. Additionally, we provide a document-level, jointly aligned development and test sets for 14 language pairs,
    designed for tuning and testing Machine Translation systems. We provide baseline results for these tasks, and highlight some of the challenges we face when building machine translation systems for educational content.",
