No Language Left Behind Seed Data
NLLB Seed is a set of professionally-translated sentences in the Wikipedia domain. Data for NLLB-Seed was sampled from Wikimedia’s List of articles every Wikipedia should have, a collection of topics in different fields of knowledge and human activity. NLLB-Seed consists of around six thousand sentences in 39 languages. NLLB-Seed is meant to be used for training rather than model evaluation. Due to this difference, NLLB-Seed does not go through the human quality assurance process present in FLORES-200.

## Dataset Usage
### Using `datasets` library
```
from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/nllb_seed", trust_remote_code=True)
```
### Using `seacrowd` library
```import seacrowd as sc
# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("nllb_seed", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("nllb_seed"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
```
