# Wikidata parallel descriptions en-ja
- Parallel corpus for machine translation generated from [wikidata dump](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/entities/) (2024-05-06).
- Currently we processed only English/Japanese pair.
- The `jsonl` file is ready-to-train by Hugging Face transformers trainer for translation tasks.

# Dataset Details
- https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_download

## Dataset Creation
- As Wikidata description field does not represent exact direct translation, filtering is required for machine translation task.
- We did word count based filtering by using Japanese tokenizer MeCab and did some word-based filtering like `ウィキメディア`
- We also did deduplication.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
- The data is still noisy and might not be very parallel.
