English to Luo Translation Dataset
Dataset Summary
This dataset contains English to Luo translation pairs extracted and cleaned from the Opus corpus. The dataset is designed for machine translation tasks between English and Luo languages. Luo (also known as Dholuo) is a Nilotic language spoken by the Luo people primarily in Kenya and Tanzania.
The dataset consists of approximately 1.49 million translation pairs that have been cleaned and preprocessed for machine translation applications.
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
- Machine Translation: The dataset can be used to train machine translation models for English-to-Luo and Luo-to-English translation tasks.
Languages
The dataset contains text in two languages:
- English (
en) - Luo (
luo) - A Nilotic language spoken in East Africa
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
Each instance contains a pair of sentences, one in English and one in Luo:
{
"english": "And the name of his wife [was] Maacah.",
"luo": "Jaode niluongo ni Maaka,"
}
Data Fields
english: The English sentenceluo: The corresponding Luo translation
Data Splits
The dataset currently contains only a training split with 1,489,107 examples.
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
This dataset was created to support machine translation research and development for the Luo language, which is considered a low-resource language in the context of natural language processing. The dataset aims to facilitate the development of translation tools that can help bridge the language gap for Luo speakers.
Source Data
The dataset is based on the Opus corpus, which is a large collection of translated texts from the web.
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
The data was extracted from the Opus corpus and underwent cleaning and preprocessing steps to ensure quality and consistency.
Annotations
Annotation process
The dataset consists of naturally occurring translation pairs from the Opus corpus and does not contain additional human annotations.
Who are the annotators?
No additional annotators were involved in the creation of this dataset beyond the original translators of the source materials in the Opus corpus.
Personal and Sensitive Information
The dataset may contain publicly available translated text that could potentially include names or other identifying information present in the original source materials.
Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
This dataset supports the development of translation tools for Luo, a language spoken by millions of people in East Africa. Such tools can help preserve the language, facilitate education, and improve access to information for Luo speakers.
Discussion of Biases
The dataset reflects the biases present in the original Opus corpus materials. Users should be aware that translation quality and domain coverage may vary across different types of content.
Other Known Limitations
- The dataset is primarily focused on written text and may not capture spoken language variations
- Translation quality may vary depending on the source material
- The dataset represents version 1.0 and may contain errors that will be addressed in future versions
