Dataset Summary

The Aya Dataset is a multilingual instruction fine-tuning dataset curated by an open-science community via Aya Annotation Platform from Cohere For AI. The dataset contains a total of 204k human-annotated prompt-completion pairs along with the demographics data of the annotators.
This dataset can be used to train, finetune, and evaluate multilingual LLMs.

  • Curated by: Contributors of Aya Open Science Intiative.

  • Language(s): 65 languages (71 including dialects & scripts).

    Name Explanation
    aya_dataset Human-annotated multilingual instruction finetuning dataset, comprising over 204K instances across 65 languages.
    aya_collection Created by applying instruction-style templates from fluent speakers to 44 datasets, including translations of 19 instruction-style datasets into 101 languages, providing 513M instances for various tasks.
    aya_evaluation_suite A diverse evaluation set for multilingual open-ended generation, featuring 250 culturally grounded prompts in 7 languages, 200 translated prompts in 24 languages, and human-edited versions selected for cross-cultural relevance from English Dolly in 6 languages.

Dataset

The Aya Dataset comprises of two types of data:

  1. Human Annotations: Original annotations (brand new prompts and completions written by annotators) and re-annotations (human edits of automatically generated prompts and completions).
  2. Demographics Data: Anonymized information for each annotator.

Load with Datasets

To load this dataset consisting of both prompt-completions and demographics data with datasets, you'll just need to install Datasets as pip install datasets --upgrade and then use the following code:

from datasets import load_dataset
# Load the annotations dataset
aya_dataset = load_dataset("CohereForAI/aya_dataset")
# Load the demographics dataset
aya_demographics = load_dataset("CohereForAI/aya_dataset", "demographics")

Data Fields

Human Annotations (Default)

The data fields are the same among all splits:

  • inputs: Prompt or input to the language model.
  • targets: Completion or output of the language model.
  • language: The language of the inputs and targets.
  • language_code: The ISO code for the language of the inputs and targets.
  • annotation_type: The value denoting whether inputs and targets are 'original_annotations' or 're-annotations'.
  • user_id: Unique identifier of the annotator who submitted the prompt-completion pair.

Data Instances

Human Annotations (Default)

An example of train looks as follows:

{
"inputs": "What cultural events or festivals add vibrancy to Colombo's calendar...",
"targets": "Colombo's cultural calendar is adorned with diverse events and festivals that celebrate the city's rich tapestry of traditions...",
"language": "English",
"language_code": "eng",
"annotation_type": "original-annotations",
"user_id": "f0ff69570af705b75c5a0851883e..."
}
