### Dataset Summary

This dataset was created based on [metadata](https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairseq/tree/nllb) for mined bitext released by Meta AI.  It contains bitext for 148 English-centric and 1465 non-English-centric language pairs using the stopes mining library and the LASER3 encoders Heffernan et al. (2022). 

#### How to use the data
There are two ways to access the data:
* Via the Hugging Face Python datasets library 
```
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("allenai/nllb")
```
* Clone the git repo
```
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co./datasets/allenai/nllb
```

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

NA

### Languages

Language pairs can be found [here](https://huggingface.co./datasets/allenai/nllb/blob/main/nllb_lang_pairs.py).

## Dataset Structure

The dataset contains gzipped tab delimited text files for each direction.  Each text file contains lines with parallel sentences.


### Data Instances

[More Information Needed]

### Data Fields

Every instance for a language pair contains the following fields: 'translation' (containing sentence pairs), 'laser_score', 'source_sentence_lid', 'target_sentence_lid', where 'lid' is language classification probability, 'source_sentence_source', 'source_sentence_url', 'target_sentence_source', 'target_sentence_url'.

* Sentence in first language
* Sentence in second language
* LASER score
* Language ID score for first sentence
* Language ID score for second sentence
* First sentence source (https://github.com/facebookresearch/LASER/tree/main/data/nllb200) 
* First sentence URL if the source is crawl-data/\*; _ otherwise
* Second sentence source
* Second sentence URL if the source is crawl-data/\*; _ otherwise

Example:
```
{'translation': {'ace_Latn': 'Gobnyan hana geupeukeucewa gata atawa geutinggai meunan mantong gata."',
  'ban_Latn': 'Ida nenten jaga manggayang wiadin ngutang semeton."'},
 'laser_score': 1.2499876022338867,
 'source_sentence_lid': 1.0000100135803223,
 'target_sentence_lid': 0.9991400241851807,
 'source_sentence_source': 'paracrawl9_hieu',
 'source_sentence_url': '_',
 'target_sentence_source': 'crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875144165.4/wet/CC-MAIN-20200219153707-20200219183707-00232.warc.wet.gz',
 'target_sentence_url': 'https://alkitab.mobi/tb/Ula/31/6/\n'}
```

### Data Splits

The data is not split.  Given the noisy nature of the overall process, we recommend using the data only for training and use other datasets like [Flores-200](https://github.com/facebookresearch/flores) for the evaluation.


## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

Data was filtered based on language identification, emoji based filtering, and for some high-resource languages language model-based filtering. For more details on data filtering please refer to Section 5.2 (NLLB Team et al., 2022).


### Source Data


#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The monolingual data is from Common Crawl and ParaCrawl. 

#### Who are the source language producers?

The source language was produced by writers of each website that have been crawled by Common Crawl and ParaCrawl.

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

Parallel sentences in the monolingual data were identified using LASER3 encoders. (Heffernan et al., 2022)

#### Who are the annotators?

The data was not human annotated.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

The data in CommonCrawl and ParaCrawl may contain personally identifiable information, sensitive or toxic content that was publicly shared on the Internet.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset

This dataset provides data for training machine learning systems for many languages that have low resources available for NLP.

### Discussion of Biases

Biases in the data have not been specifically studied, however as the original source of data is World Wide Web it is likely that the data has biases similar to those prevalent in the Internet. The data may also exhibit biases introduced by language identification and data filtering techniques: lower resource languages may have lower accuracy while data filtering techniques may remove certain less natural utterances.

### Other Known Limitations

[More Information Needed]

## Additional Information

### Dataset Curators

The data was not curated.

### Licensing Information

The dataset is released under the terms of [ODC-BY](https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1-0/). By using this, you are also bound by the Common Crawl [Terms of Use](https://commoncrawl.org/terms-of-use/) and / or the ParaCrawl [License](https://paracrawl.eu/) in respect of the content contained in the dataset.
