The corpus has 26M Indic language-English transliteration pairs. ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards [More Information Needed] ### Languages | | | | | | | | -------------- | -------------- | -------------- | --------------- | -------------- | ------------- | | Assamese (asm) | Hindi (hin) | Maithili (mai) | Marathi (mar) | Punjabi (pan) | Tamil (tam) | | Bengali (ben) | Kannada (kan) | Malayalam (mal)| Nepali (nep) | Sanskrit (san) | Telugu (tel) | | Bodo(brx) | Kashmiri (kas) | Manipuri (mni) | Oriya (ori) | Sindhi (snd) | Urdu (urd) | | Gujarati (guj) | Konkani (kok) | ## Dataset Structure ### Data Instances ``` A random sample from Hindi (hin) Train dataset. { 'unique_identifier': 'hin1241393', 'native word': 'स्वाभिमानिक', 'english word': 'swabhimanik', 'source': 'IndicCorp', 'score': -0.1028788579 } ``` ### Data Fields - `unique_identifier` (string): 3-letter language code followed by a unique number in each set (Train, Test, Val). - `native word` (string): A word in Indic language. - `english word` (string): Transliteration of native word in English (Romanised word). - `source` (string): Source of the data. - `score` (num): Character level log probability of indic word given roman word by IndicXlit (model). Pairs with average threshold of the 0.35 are considered. For created data sources, depending on the destination/sampling method of a pair in a language, it will be one of: - Dakshina Dataset - IndicCorp - Samanantar - Wikidata - Existing sources - Named Entities Indian (AK-NEI) - Named Entities Foreign (AK-NEF) - Data from Uniform Sampling method. (Ak-Uni) - Data from Most Frequent words sampling method.
