### Dataset Summary
MASSIVE is a parallel dataset of > 1M utterances across 51 languages with annotations for the Natural Language Understanding tasks of intent prediction and slot annotation. Utterances span 60 intents and include 55 slot types. MASSIVE was created by localizing the SLURP dataset, composed of general Intelligent Voice Assistant single-shot interactions.

### Data Fields (taken from Alexa Github)
`id`: maps to the original ID in the [SLURP](https://github.com/pswietojanski/slurp) collection. Mapping back to the SLURP en-US utterance, this utterance served as the basis for this localization.
`locale`: is the language and country code accoring to ISO-639-1 and ISO-3166.
`partition`: is either `train`, `dev`, or `test`, according to the original split in [SLURP](https://github.com/pswietojanski/slurp).
`scenario`: is the general domain, aka "scenario" in SLURP terminology, of an utterance
`intent`: is the specific intent of an utterance within a domain formatted as `{scenario}_{intent}`
`utt`: the raw utterance text without annotations
`annot_utt`: the text from `utt` with slot annotations formatted as `[{label} : {entity}]`
`worker_id`: The obfuscated worker ID from MTurk of the worker completing the localization of the utterance. Worker IDs are specific to a locale and do *not* map across locales.
`slot_method`: for each slot in the utterance, whether that slot was a `translation` (i.e., same expression just in the target language), `localization` (i.e., not the same expression but a different expression was chosen more suitable to the phrase in that locale), or `unchanged` (i.e., the original en-US slot value was copied over without modification).
`judgments`: Each judgment collected for the localized utterance has 6 keys. `worker_id` is the obfuscated worker ID from MTurk of the worker completing the judgment. Worker IDs are specific to a locale and do *not* map across locales, but *are* consistent across the localization tasks and the judgment tasks, e.g., judgment worker ID 32 in the example above may appear as the localization worker ID for the localization of a different de-DE utterance, in which case it would be the same worker.
```plain
intent_score : "Does the sentence match the intent?"
0: No
1: Yes
2: It is a reasonable interpretation of the goal
slots_score : "Do all these terms match the categories in square brackets?"
0: No
1: Yes
2: There are no words in square brackets (utterance without a slot)
grammar_score : "Read the sentence out loud. Ignore any spelling, punctuation, or capitalization errors. Does it sound natural?"
0: Completely unnatural (nonsensical, cannot be understood at all)
1: Severe errors (the meaning cannot be understood and doesn't sound natural in your language)
2: Some errors (the meaning can be understood but it doesn't sound natural in your language)
3: Good enough (easily understood and sounds almost natural in your language)
4: Perfect (sounds natural in your language)
spelling_score : "Are all words spelled correctly? Ignore any spelling variances that may be due to differences in dialect. Missing spaces should be marked as a spelling error."
0: There are more than 2 spelling errors
1: There are 1-2 spelling errors
2: All words are spelled correctly
language_identification : "The following sentence contains words in the following languages (check all that apply)"
1: target
2: english
3: other
4: target & english
5: target & other
6: english & other
7: target & english & other
```

abstract = "Spoken Language Understanding infers semantic meaning directly from audio data, and thus promises to reduce error propagation and misunderstandings in end-user applications. However, publicly available SLU resources are limited. In this paper, we release SLURP, a new SLU package containing the following: (1) A new challenging dataset in English spanning 18 domains, which is substantially bigger and linguistically more diverse than existing datasets; (2) Competitive baselines based on state-of-the-art NLU and ASR systems; (3) A new transparent metric for entity labelling which enables a detailed error analysis for identifying potential areas of improvement. SLURP is available at https://github.com/pswietojanski/slurp."
