# WMT16_DE_EN

This repository hosts a copy of the **WMT16 DE-EN** dataset, a parallel corpus used for training and evaluating machine translation systems, specifically focused on the German-English language pair.

WMT16 (Workshop on Machine Translation) DE-EN is part of a larger set of datasets used in the annual WMT machine translation competition. It contains a large collection of sentence pairs in German and their corresponding English translations, often used for evaluating models on translation tasks.

## Contents

- `wmt16_de_en.jsonl` (or your actual filename): the standard set of parallel sentence pairs.

Each entry contains:

```
{
  "de": "...",
  "en": "..."
}
```

## Usage

```
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("S3IC/wmt16_de_en")
```
