# OLDI Seed Machine Translation Datacard
OLDI Seed is a machine translation dataset designed to be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets.
## Dataset Details
### Dataset Description
OLDI Seed is a parallel corpus which consists of 6,193 sentences sampled from English Wikipedia and translated into 44 languages. It can be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets.
The data, which is licensed under [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), is currently being managed by OLDI, the [Open Language Data Initiative](https://oldi.org).
- **Curated by:** [The Open Language Data Initiative](https://oldi.org/)
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Around 40, see documentation for full list.
- **License:** [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)
### Dataset Sources
OLDI Seed is an updated version of the open source seed dataset described in the paper [Small Data, Big Impact: Leveraging Minimal Data for Effective Machine Translation](https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.154):
```bibtex
@inproceedings{seed-23,
title = {Small Data, Big Impact: Leveraging Minimal Data for Effective Machine Translation},
author = {Maillard, Jean and Gao, Cynthia and Kalbassi, Elahe and Sadagopan, Kaushik Ram and Goswami, Vedanuj and Koehn, Philipp and Fan, Angela and Guzmán, Francisco},
booktitle = {Proceedings of the 61st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers)},
year = {2023},
address = {Toronto, Canada},
publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics},
pages = {2740--2756},
url = {https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.154},
}
```
Other authors have since contributed to the dataset. If you use this dataset in your work, please cite the relevant papers listed in [bibliography.bib](bibliography.bib).
## Uses
OLDI Seed is intended to be used to kick-start machine translation models for language directions which currently lack large-scale datasets.
## Dataset Structure
Each instance in the dataset is structured as in the following example:
```json
{
"id": 17,
"iso_639_3": "gug",
"iso_15924": "Latn",
"glottocode": "para1311",
"text": "Osẽ emperatriz viuda Maria Feodorovna-ramo peteĩ musical de Broadway mbykymi héravaa Anya 1965 arýpe.",
"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian_Gish",
"last_updated": "1.0"
}
```
### Data Fields
- `id`: ID number for each line of data. Lines with the same ID in the same split are translations of each other.
- `iso_639_3`: The ISO 639-3 code indicating the language variety.
- `iso_15924`: The ISO 15924 code indicating the script.
- `glottocode`: The [Glottocode](https://glottolog.org/glottolog/language) corresponding to the language variety.
- `text`: A line of text in the indicated language.
- `url`: The URL for the English article from which the sentence was extracted.
- `last_updated`: The version number of the dataset in which the entry was last updated.
## Dataset Creation
See the paper [Small Data, Big Impact: Leveraging Minimal Data for Effective Machine Translation](https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.154) and the [NLLB paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.04672#page=18.71) for more details.
### Additional Datacards
The datasets for some language varieties have individual datacards describing their creation. These can be found in the [dataset_cards](https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/oldi_seed/tree/main/dataset_cards) directory.
