Dataset Name

Climate Change Multilingual Mini Dataset - ClimateChangeMeasures

Dataset Description

This is a small parallel dataset consisting of texts related to climate change and environmental topics. Each entry is aligned in three languages: English, Spanish, and Italian.

Source Data:

  • Repository: Café Babel was a multilingual weekly magazine focused on European current affairs, culture, and society.
  • It was known for publishing content in multiple languages and fostering cross-cultural dialogue among European youth.
  • Current status: The project is no longer running.

Uses

While the dataset is too small for training large-scale models from scratch, it can be valuable for:

- Fine-tuning pretrained models for domain adaptation

- Testing multilingual alignment

Data description:

The articles were human-translated and peer-reviewed to ensure quality and domain accuracy.

Limitations:

  • Small dataset (228 rows) — not suitable for training large-scale models from scratch
  • Translations are not strictly literal; they prioritize meaning and naturalness over direct word alignment.
