## General Information

Release of the Mediomatix corpus, prepared by UZH and PHGR, to be used for research purposes only. 

Each segment is presented as part of a multi-parallel alignment. For the full, unaligned _Mediomatix_ data in each idiom's schoolbooks, see [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ZurichNLP/mediomatix-raw) . 

We use the following Romansh idiom codes as columns:
  - Sursilvan: rm-sursilv
  - Sutsilvan: rm-sutsilv
  - Surmiran: rm-surmiran
  - Puter: rm-puter
  - Vallader: rm-vallader

Book names are encoded in the book column as follows:
  - The first digit refers to the school year of the book
  - The next refers to the book volums for that school year
  - The two letter code indicates whether the segment comes from the student workbook ("wb") or teacher's commentary ("tc")
  - Example: Book "5.1_tc" refers to teacher's commentary for Volume 1 of the year 5 schoolbook.

## How to Use

To access all four splits, use the following code:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load aligned dataset

mediomatix = load_dataset("ZurichNLP/mediomatix")

# Access Train set:

train_set = mediomatix['train']

# Access Validation set:

val_set = mediomatix['validation']

# Access Test set:

test_set = mediomatix['test']

# Access no-rm-surmiran split:

no_surm = mediomatix['no_surm']


```
