| |
|
| | | Field Name | Description | |
| | |-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |
| | | title | WikiNews article title | |
| | | pageid | pageid defined by the English WikiNews article. Data with the same pageid corresponds to the same news event linked together. | |
| | | categories | list of topics defined by WikiNews. All pages have at least one topic from [Crime and law, Culture and entertainment, Disasters and accidents, Economy and business, Education, Environment, Heath, Obituaries, Politics and conflicts, Science and technology, Sports, Wackynews, Weather] | |
| | | text | content of the article. Some foreign pages have news titles but no content. For those, text is left empty. | |
| | | lang | languages of the article (WP code, check [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias#Lists) for lists ) | |
| | | url | articles' URL | |
| | | date | date of publish in YYYY-MM-DD for English pages. Dates in foreign pages were left as it is. To get a date with YYYY-MM-DD format, look for a English page with the same pageid. | |

| | ## Uses |
| |
|
| | <!-- Address questions around how the dataset is intended to be used. --> |
| |
|
| | ### Weakly aligned multilingual pararell sentence datasets |
| | Weakly aligned multilingual pararell sentence datasets can be constructed by comparing the titles and/or contents of the WikiNews pages that are linked to the same English WikiNews page (in the dataset, they have the same pageid). |
| | Following is the example case where titles of the same pageid are retrieved. These five phrases (news titles) are the news titles of the same incident. |
| |
|
| | | News title | Language | type | |
| | |---------------------------------------------------------------|----------|-------------------| |
| | | Bomb blast in Delhi kills 12, injures 62 | English | title | |
| | | چندین کشته بر اثر انفجار بمب در مقابل دادگاه عالی هند | Farsi | title| |
| | | 9 נהרגו בפיגוע מחוץ לבית המשפט העליון של הודו | Hebrew | title| |
| | | У Индији 11 мртвих, 64 повређених | Serbian | title| |
| | | தில்லி உயர்நீதிமன்றத்தில் குண்டு வெடிப்பு, 10 பேர் உயிரிழப்பு | Tamil | title| |
