+ ## Dataset Description
43
+
44
+ ### Dataset Summary
45
+
46
+ The CA-ZH Parallel Corpus is a Catalan-Chinese dataset of **6.833.114** parallel sentences. The dataset was created to support Catalan NLP tasks, e.g.,
47
+ Machine Translation.
48
+
49
+ ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
50
+
51
+ 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.
52
+
53
+ ### Languages
54
+
55
+ The texts in the dataset are in Catalan and Chinese.
56
+
57
+ ## Dataset Structure
58
+
59
+ Two separated txt files are provided with the sentences sorted in the same order:
60
+
61
+ - ca-zh_all_2023_10_26.ca: contains 6.833.114 Catalan sentences.
62
+
63
+ - ca-zh_all_2023_10_26.zh: contains 6.833.114 Chinese sentences.
64
+
65
+ ### Data Splits
66
+
67
+ The dataset contains a single split: `train`.
68
+
69
+ ## Dataset Creation
70
+
71
+ ### Source Data
72
+
73
+ The dataset is a combination of the following authentic datasets:
74
+
75
+ | Dataset | Sentences |
76
+ |:-------|-------:|
77
+
78
+ The Catalan-Chinese data collected from the web was a combination of the following datasets:
79
+
80
+ | Dataset | Sentences before cleaning |
81
+ |-------------------|----------------|
82
+ | WikiMatrix | 90.643 |
83
+ | XLENT | 535.803 |
84
+ | GNOME | 78|
85
+ | QED | 3.677 |
86
+ | TED2020 v1 | 56.269 |
87
+ | OpenSubtitles | 139.300 |
88
+ | **Total** | **882.039** |
89
+
90
+ The 6.658.607 sentence pairs of synthetic parallel data were created from the following Spanish-Chinese datasets:
91
+
92
+ | Dataset | Sentences before cleaning |
93
+ |-------------------|----------------|
94
+ | UNPC |17.599.223|
95
+ | CCMatrix | 24.051.233 |
96
+ | MultiParacrawl| 3410087|
97
+ | **Total** | **45.060.543** |
98
+
99
+ ### Data preparation
100
+
101
+ The Chinese side of all datasets are passed through the [fastlangid](https://github.com/currentslab/fastlangid) language detector and any sentences which are not identified
102
+ as simplified Chinese are discarded. The datasets are then also deduplicated and filtered to remove any sentence pairs with a cosine similarity of less than 0.75.
103
+ This is done using sentence embeddings calculated using [LaBSE](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/LaBSE).
104
+ The filtered datasets are then concatenated to form a final corpus of 6.833.114 parallel sentences.
105
+
106
+ ### Personal and Sensitive Information
107
+
108
+ No anonymisation process was performed.
109
+
110
+ ## Considerations for Using the Data
111
+
112
+ ### Social Impact of Dataset
113
+
114
+ The purpose of this dataset is to help develop Machines Translation tasks for low-resource languages such as Catalan.
115
+
116
+ ### Discussion of Biases
117
+
118
+ 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.
119
+ Nonetheless, we have not applied any steps to reduce their impact.
120
+
121
+ ### Other Known Limitations
122
+
123
+ 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.
