## Dataset Description
### Dataset Summary
The CA-PT Parallel Corpus is a Catalan-German dataset of **9.892.953** parallel sentences. The dataset was created to support Catalan NLP tasks, e.g.,
Machine Translation.
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
The dataset can be used to train a model for Multilingual Machine Translation. Success on this task is typically measured by achieving a high BLEU score.
### Languages
The texts in the dataset are in Catalan and German.
## Dataset Structure
Two separated txt files are provided with the sentences sorted in the same order:
- ca-de_all_2023_09_11.ca: contains XXX Catalan sentences.
- ca-de_all_2023_09_11.de: contains XXX German sentences.
### Data Splits
The dataset contains a single split: `train`.
## Dataset Creation
### Source Data
The dataset is a combination of the following authentic datasets:
| Dataset | Sentences |
|---------------|-----------|
All corpora except Europarl were collected from [Opus](https://opus.nlpl.eu/).
The Europarl corpus is a synthetic parallel corpus created from the original Spanish-Catalan corpus by [SoftCatalà](https://github.com/Softcatala/Europarl-catalan).
The remaining **3.733.322** sentences are synthetic parallel data created from a random sampling of the Spanish-German corpora available on [Opus](https://opus.nlpl.eu/) and translated into Catalan using the [PlanTL es-ca](https://huggingface.co/PlanTL-GOB-ES/mt-plantl-es-ca) model.
### Data preparation
All datasets are deduplicated and filtered to remove any sentence pairs with a cosine similarity of less than 0.75.
This is done using sentence embeddings calculated using [LaBSE](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/LaBSE).
The filtered datasets are then concatenated to form a final corpus of **XXX** parallel sentences and before training the punctuation is normalized using a modified version of the join-single-file.py script from [SoftCatalà](https://github.com/Softcatala/nmt-models/blob/master/data-processing-tools/join-single-file.py).
### Personal and Sensitive Information
No anonymisation process was performed.
## Considerations for Using the Data
### Social Impact of Dataset
The purpose of this dataset is to help develop Machines Translation tasks for low-resource languages such as Catalan.
### Discussion of Biases
We are aware that since part of the data comes from unreliable web pages and non-curated texts, some biases may be present in the dataset.
Nonetheless, we have not applied any steps to reduce their impact.
### Other Known Limitations
The dataset contains data of a general domain. Application of this dataset in more specific domains such as biomedical, legal etc. would be of limited use.
