# Susu (Soussou) Parallel and Monolingual Corpus
|
| 46 |
+
|
| 47 |
+
A multi-source corpus for **Susu** (Soussou; ISO 639-3 `sus`), a Mande language of
|
| 48 |
+
Guinea that is absent from NLLB-200 and from commercial MT systems. Built to train
|
| 49 |
+
[`2ADT-Consulting/nllb-susu-v2`](https://huggingface.co/2ADT-Consulting/nllb-susu-v2),
|
| 50 |
+
one of the first open neural MT systems for Susu.
|
| 51 |
+
|
| 52 |
+
## Configurations

```python
|
| 62 |
+
from datasets import load_dataset
|
| 63 |
+
ds = load_dataset("2ADT-Consulting/susu-parallel", "sus-fr")
|
| 64 |
+
print(ds["test"][0]) # {'sus': '...', 'fr': '...'}
|
| 65 |
+
```
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
## Sources and construction
|
| 68 |
+
|
| 69 |
+
- **Bible translations** (Susu ↔ fr/en) aligned at verse level via verse keys
|
| 70 |
+
(source: YouVersion). This is the backbone of the parallel data.
|
| 71 |
+
- **Bilingual dictionary** (~7,000 Susu–French entries), including both the
|
| 72 |
+
official orthography and a French-style spelling (`sus_ortho_fr`).
|
| 73 |
+
- **Everyday dialogues** extracted from a Peace-Corps Susu language-course manual,
|
| 74 |
+
plus additional Christian-education booklets.
|
| 75 |
+
- **Orthography-aware augmentation**: informal "French-style" (SMS) variants of
|
| 76 |
+
Susu sentences generated with deterministic rules
|
| 77 |
+
(`x`→`kh`, `u`→`ou`, `ɛ`→`è`, `ɔ`→`o`, `ɲ`→`gn`, ...), so models learn to read
|
| 78 |
+
informal input while producing the official orthography.
|
| 79 |
+
|
| 80 |
+
Pairs with an out-of-range source/target length ratio are filtered (211 removed
|
| 81 |
+
for sus–fr, 522 for sus–en). Vocabulary: 8,690 unique word types, 757,387 tokens.
|
| 82 |
+
|
| 83 |
+
## Intended use and limitations
|
| 84 |
+
|
| 85 |
+
- Intended for **machine translation** and low-resource NLP research on Susu.
|
| 86 |
+
- **Register bias**: the parallel data is dominated by biblical text; models and
|
| 87 |
+
automatic metrics computed against these references over-reward the religious
|
| 88 |
+
register. The everyday/dictionary/dialogue data partially mitigates this.
|
| 89 |
+
- **No native-speaker validation yet.** Automatic references may contain errors.
