pretty_name: Fish Names Chinese-Latin Parallel Corpora

Fish Names Chinese-Latin Parallel Corpora

Dataset Overview

We curated over 60,000 authoritative Chinese-Latin bilingual parallel corpora for fish names by integrating cross-source data, including Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes online database. Using a dual translation approach, we applied the Multilingual Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer (mT5) model to generate missing Chinese names.

Note: The current release provides 10,000 paired data entries.
