Turk Corpus

HuggingFace implementation of the Turk corpus for sentence simplification gathered by Wei Xu, Courtney Napoles, Ellie Pavlick, Quanze Chen and Chris Callison-Burch.

/!\ I am not one of the creators of the dataset, I just needed a HF version of this dataset and uploaded it. I encourage you to read the paper introducing the dataset: Optimizing Statistical Machine Translation for Text Simplification (2016)

Uses

This dataset can be used to evaluate sentence simplification models.

Dataset Structure

• Size of the generated dataset: 2.4 MB

An example of 'test' looks as follows.

{
    'complex': 'One side of the armed conflicts is composed mainly of the Sudanese military and the Janjaweed , a Sudanese militia group recruited mostly from the Afro-Arab Abbala tribes of the northern Rizeigat region in Sudan .',
    'simple': [
        'One side of the armed conflicts is made of Sudanese military and the Janjaweed , a Sudanese militia recruited from the Afro-Arab Abbala tribes of the northern Rizeigat region in Sudan .',
        'One side of the armed conflicts is composed mainly of the Sudanese military and the Janjaweed, a Sudanese militia group recruited mostly from the Afro-Arab Abbala tribes of the northern Rizeigat regime in Sudan.',
        'One side of the armed conflicts is made up mostly of the Sudanese military and the Janjaweed, a Sudanese militia group whose recruits mostly come from the Afro-Arab Abbala tribes from the northern Rizeigat region in Sudan.',
