The S2S contains data for 35 language pairs. The S2S dataset is ~1000GB compressed. #### How to use the data There are two ways to access the data: * Via the Hugging Face Python datasets library ``` Scripts coming soon ``` * Clone the git repo ``` git lfs install git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/nllb ``` ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards N/A ### Languages Language pairs can be found [here](https://github.com/facebookresearch/seamless_communication/blob/main/docs/m4t/seamless_align_README.md). ## Dataset Structure The S2S dataset contains two gzipped files src.tar.gz annd tgt.tar.gz ### Data Instances The number of instances for each language pair can be found in the [dataset_infos.json](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/nllb/blob/main/dataset_infos.json) file. ### Data Fields Data Field can be found [here](https://github.com/facebookresearch/seamless_communication/blob/main/docs/m4t/seamless_align_README.md). ### Data Splits The data is not split. ## Dataset Creation ### Curation Rationale ### Source Data Inspect links in metadata #### Who are the source language producers? Speech and Text was collected from the web many of which are web crawls. ### Annotations #### Annotation process Parallel sentences were identified using SONAR encoders. (Duquenne et al., 2023) #### Who are the annotators? The data was not human annotated. ### Personal and Sensitive Information Data may contain personally identifiable information, sensitive content, or toxic content that was publicly shared on the Internet. ## Considerations for Using the Data ### Social Impact of Dataset This dataset provides data for training machine learning systems for many languages. ### Discussion of Biases Biases in the data have not been specifically studied, however as the original source of data is World Wide Web it is likely that the data has biases similar to those prevalent in the Internet. The data may also exhibit biases introduced by language identification and data filtering techniques; lower resource languages generally have lower accuracy. ### Other Known Limitations Some of the translations are in fact machine translations. While some website machine translation tools are identifiable from HTML source, these tools were not filtered out en mass because raw HTML was not available from some sources and CommonCrawl processing started from WET files. ## Additional Information ### Dataset Curators The data was not curated. ### Licensing Information The dataset is released under the terms of [MIT](https://opensource.org/license/mit/). **PLEASE, USE DATA RESPONSIBLY** ### Citation Information Seamless Communication et al, SeamlessM4T: Massively Multilingual & Multimodal Machine Translation. arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.11596, 2023.
