High Quality Multilingual Sentences

This dataset contains multilingual sentences derived from the agentlans/LinguaNova dataset.
It includes 1.58 million rows across 51 different languages, each in its own configuration.

Example row (from the all config):

{
    "text": "امام جمعه اصفهان گفت: میزان نیاز آب شرب اصفهان ۱۱.۵ متر مکعب است که تمام استان اصفهان را پوشش میدهد و نسبت به قبل از انقلاب یکی از پیشرفتها در حوزه آب بوده است.",
    "fasttext": "fa",
    "gcld3": "fa"
}

Fields:

text: The sentence in the original language.
fasttext, gcld3: Language codes determined using fastText and gcld3 Python packages.

Configurations

Each individual language is available as a separate configuration, such as ar, en. These configurations contain only sentences identified to be of that specific language by both the fastText and gcld3 models.

Example row (from a language-specific config):

{
    "text": "Ne vienas asmuo yra apsaugotas nuo parazitų atsiradimo organizme."
}

Methods

Data Loading and Processing

The all split was downloaded from the agentlans/LinguaNova dataset.

Text Cleaning: Raw text was cleaned by removing HTML tags, emails, emojis, hashtags, user handles, and URLs. Unicode characters and whitespace were normalized, and hyphenated words were handled to ensure consistency.
Sentence Segmentation: Text was segmented into individual sentences using ICU's BreakIterator class, which efficiently processed different languages and punctuation.
Deduplication: Duplicate entries were removed to maintain uniqueness and prevent redundancy in the dataset.

Language Detection

Two methods were used for language identification:

gcld3: Google's Compact Language Detector 3 was used for fast and accurate language identification.
fastText: Facebook’s fastText model was employed, which improved accuracy by considering subword information.

Quality Assessment

Text quality was assessed through batch inference using the agentlans/multilingual-e5-small-aligned-quality model.

Data Retrieval: Entries with a quality score of 1 or higher and a minimum input length of 20 characters were retained.
Text Refinement: Leading punctuation and spaces were removed, and balanced quotation marks were validated using regular expressions.

Dataset Configs

The filtered sentences and their annotated languages were written to the all.jsonl file. The file was then split into language-specific JSONL files, containing only those sentences that matched consistently with both gcld3 and fasttext in terms of language identification. Only languages with at least 100 sentences after filtering were included in these configs.

Usage

Loading the Dataset

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset('agentlans/high-quality-multilingual-sentences', 'all')

For language-specific configurations:

language_config = load_dataset('agentlans/high-quality-multilingual-sentences', 'en')  # Replace with desired language code.

Example Usage in Python

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset for all languages or a specific one
dataset_all = load_dataset("agentlans/high-quality-multilingual-sentences", "all")
print(dataset_all["train"][0])

language_config = load_dataset("agentlans/high-quality-multilingual-sentences", "en")  # Replace 'en' with desired language code.
print(language_config["train"][:5])

Limitations

Multilingual content bias: The quality classifier is biased towards educational and more formal content.
Language coverage: Limited to the 50 written languages from LinguaNova. There's a lack of African and indigenous languages.
Short input issues: Language identification accuracy can suffer when working with short inputs like single sentences.
Sentence segmentation challenges: Some languages' delimiters might not be handled correctly.
Redundancy: The filtering was only done on exact matches so some sentences may be similar (but not identical).

Additionally:

Thai data imbalance: Fewer examples are available for th (Thai) than expected. Could be a sentence segmentation problem.
Malay and Indonesian: There are few examples for the ms (Malay) subset. Consider also using the id (Indonesian) subset when training models.
Chinese written forms: This dataset does not distinguish between different Chinese character variations.
