### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
MegaWika is a multi- and crosslingual text dataset containing 30 million Wikipedia passages with their scraped and cleaned web citations. The passages span |
|
50 Wikipedias in 50 languages, and the articles in which the passages were originally embedded are included for convenience. Where a Wikipedia passage is in a |
|
non-English language, an automated English translation is provided. Furthermore, nearly 130 million English question/answer pairs were extracted from the |
|
passages, and FrameNet events occurring in the passages are detected using the [LOME](https://aclanthology.org/2021.eacl-demos.19.pdf) FrameNet parser. |

To get a feel for the dataset -- its structure, content, strengths and weaknesses -- you may visit the [dataset viewer](https://huggingface.co/spaces/hltcoe/megawika) |
|
we have set up as a HuggingFace Space. It allows the curious visitor to explore a small set of examples spread across a number of the dataset's constituent languages. |

### Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
The pipeline through which MegaWika was created is complex, and is described in more detail in the paper (linked above), |
|
but the following diagram illustrates the basic approach. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|

## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
The dataset is divided by language, and the data for each of the 50 languages is further chunked into discrete JSON lines files. |
|
Each line of these files -- we'll call such a line an **instance** -- contains the data extracted from a single Wikipedia article. |
|
|
|
### Data Instances |
|
|
|
Each instance contains the text of the seed Wikipedia article, along with a list of **entries**. Each entry consists basically in |
|
an extracted Wikipedia passage, the URL and scraped text of the web source it cites, a list of questions/answer pairs extracted from the passage, |
|
and a framenet parse of the passage. Where the passage is from a non-English Wikipedia, a machine translation into English is also provided. |
|
|
|
### Data Fields |
|
|
|
The detailed structure of an instance is as follows: |
|
``` |
|
{ |
|
"article_title": <string : title of original Wikipedia article> |
|
"article_text": <string : text of Wikipedia article> |
|
"entries": [ |
|
# Wiki Passage |
|
"id": <string : passage ID> |
|
"passage": { |
|
"text": <string : text of passage in English (possibly via MT)> |
|
"parse": <list of dict : FrameNet parse of English passage text> |
|
"en_tokens": <dict : tokenization of passage in English> |
|
"lang_tokens": <dict : tokenization of original non-English passage> |
|
"en_lang_token_map": <dict : alignment mapping between English and original language token indices> |
|
} |
|
# MT |
|
"original": <string : original language passage> |
|
"original_sents": <list of string : sentencized original language passage> |
|
"translation": <string : machine translation of passage> |
|
"translation_sents": <list of string : sentencized machine translation of passage> |
|
"translation_probs": <list of float : log prob of machine translation by sentence, where available> |
|
"repetitious_translation": <string \in ("true", "false") : automated judgment on whether machine translation is pathologically repetitious> |
|
"source_lang": <string : language ID, 2-character ISO code> |
|
# Source |
|
"source_url": <string : URL of the cited web source> |
|
"source_text": <string : content extracted from the scrape of the source URL> |
|
# Question/Answer Pairs |
|
"qa_pairs": [ |
|
... |
|
{ |
|
"question": <string : generated question> |
|
"passage_id": <string : passage ID> |
|
"en_answer": <string : English answer> |
|
"lang_answer": <string : aligned original language answer> |
|
"frames": [ |
|
... |
|
{ |
|
"frame": <string : frame triggered by the question> |
|
"argument": <string : detected frame arguments> |
|
} |
|
... |
|
] |
|
# NB: answer matches can be empty, in the case no matching span exists |
|
"en_matches_in_source": <list of int : start and end index of the English language-answer token(s) in the source document> |
|
"en_match_in_passage": <list of int : start and end index of the English language-answer token(s) in the English language translation of the passage> |
|
"lang_matches_in_source": <list of int : start and end index of the original language-answer token(s) in the source document> |
|
"lang_match_in_passage": <list of int : start and end index of the original language-answer token(s) in the original language passage> |
|
"passage": <list of string : sentencized view of the passage> |
|
"en_answer_tokens": <list of string> |
|
"match_disambiguated_question": <string : disambiguated version of question obtained by matching pronouns with article title (noisy but often helpful)> |
|
} |
|
... |
|
] |
|
] |
|
} |
|
``` |
|
|
|
English language instances differ not in structure but in content; |
|
1. Fields in the block labeled "MT" above are naturally null (that is, they are set to falsy values in Python -- specifically `None`) |
|
2. Since the Wiki passage only exists in English, and has no corresponding non-English "original language" version, answer spans also necessarily have only an English-language version (and no non-English "original-language" version. Therefore, fields in the `qa_pairs` block beginning with `lang_` are set to null/falsy values in Python (in this case, empty lists). |
|
|
|
|
|
### Data Splits |
|
|
|
MegaWika is currently split only by language, as each task will imply its own approach to filtering, sampling, downselecting, and splitting into train/test splits. |
