| # French → Mooré (Mossi) Parallel Corpus |
|
|
| Machine-translated parallel sentences from French (`fr`) to Mooré / Mossi (`mos`), produced by a public-web crawl + filtering + Glosbe translation pipeline. |

|
| | Field | Value | |
| |-------|------:| |
| | Validated pairs | ~2.82 million | |
| | Source language | French | |

| ## Schema |
|
|
| | Column | Type | Description | |
| |--------|------|-------------| |
| | `id` | string (UUID) | Pair identifier | |
| | `source_domain` | string | Crawl source domain | |
| | `source_url` | string | Original page URL | |
| | `crawl_date` | string (ISO 8601) | When the page was crawled | |
| | `french` | string | Source sentence | |
| | `moore` | string | Mooré translation | |
| | `translator` | string | Provider id (e.g. `glosbe`) | |

| | `complexity_score` | float | Source complexity score | |
| | `quality_score` | float | Pipeline quality score | |
|
|
| ## Files |
|
|
| - `fr-mos-validated.jsonl` — one JSON object per line |
| - `fr-mos-validated.parquet` — same rows, ZSTD-compressed Parquet |
|
|
| ## Quality notes |
|
|
| - Only **accepted / validated** pairs are included (failed validation rows are excluded). |
| - Translations are **automatic (Glosbe)**; this is **not** a fully human-reviewed gold set. |
| - Source text was filtered for short/medium simple French sentences; exact duplicates were deduplicated. |
| - Soft confidence floor was applied during generation; average confidence on accepted pairs is roughly ~0.63. |
| - Dominant crawl sources include French Wikipedia and other public French sites; review licenses/terms for your use case. |
|
|
| ## Intended use |
|
|
| - Pretraining / fine-tuning low-resource MT models for French ↔ Mooré |
| - Research on West African language technology |
| - Bootstrapping human post-editing workflows |
|
|
| ## Limitations |
|
|
| - Automatic MT noise and occasional domain skew (encyclopedia, news, institutional) |
| - Not a substitute for native-speaker verified data for high-stakes applications |
| - Source provenance is retained in `source_url` / `source_domain` for auditability |
