SEACrowd/gatitos

The GATITOS (Google's Additional Translations Into Tail-languages: Often Short) dataset is a high-quality, multi-way parallel dataset of tokens and short phrases. This dataset consists in 4,000 English segments (4,500 tokens) that have been translated into each of 173 languages, 170 of which are low-resource, 23 are spoken in Southeast Asia. This dataset contains primarily short segments: 93% single tokens, and only 23 sentences (0.6%) have over 5 tokens. As such it is best thought of as a multilingual lexicon, rather than a parallel training corpus. The source text is frequent words in the English Language, along with some common phrases and short sentences. Care has been taken to ensure that they include good coverage of numbers, months, days of the week, swadesh words, and names of the languages themselves (including the endonym).

Dataset Usage

Using datasets library

from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/gatitos", trust_remote_code=True)

Using seacrowd library

# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("gatitos", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("gatitos"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
