# ml.Datx - Noisy

This dataset contains texts in six Malian languages with various noise functions applied. It is designed for use with Hugging Face's NLP tools and models.

## Languages Included
- Bambara
- Bomu
- Bozo
- Mamama
- Songhay
- Soninke

## Noise Functions Applied
The following noise functions have been applied to the texts:
- **Character Swap**: Randomly swaps adjacent characters.
- **Random Space Insertion**: Inserts random characters at random positions.
- **Random Character Deletion**: Deletes random characters.
- **Random Word Position Swapping**: Substitutes random characters with other random characters.
- **Word Masking**: Random word masking using BLANK keyword

## Dataset Structure
The dataset is structured as follows:
- data/lang_id_output.json`: Contains a list based dictionary representation of the data

Each data instance contains the followings *original*, *space_insertion*, *char_delete*, *char_swap*, *word_swap*, *word_delete*, *word_blank*, *cleaned*, for example:

```json
[
    {
        "original": "Yesu Kirisita Tuura Wema TUURA WEMA",
        "space_insertion": " Ye su Kiris i ta Tu u r a  Wem a  TUU RA   WEM A",
        "char_delete": "Ysu isia Tuurema TURAWMA",
        "char_swap": "eYsu iKisriat Turua Wma eTUURA WMEA",
        "word_swap": "Yesu Kirisita Tuura Wema WEMA TUURA",
        "word_delete": "Yesu Kirisita Tuura Wema TUURA WEMA",
        "word_blank": "Yesu Kirisita Tuura Wema BLANK WEMA",
        "cleaned": "Yesu Kirisita Tuura Wema TUURA WEMA"
    }
...
]
```

## Usage
To use this dataset with Hugging Face, you can load it using the `datasets` library:
