# Europarl Scandinavian Languages
The data originates from the Europarl parallel corpus, where English transcriptions of parliamentary discussions were aligned
with a number of other languages algorithmically.
In order to align Danish and Swedish corpora in the dataset, English entries were hashed with 128bit Murmurhash3,
and the Danish and Swedish transcriptions were joined on the obtained hash values.
Entries that had more than one pair in the other dataset were removed, this ensures that no false positives due to hash collisions
got into the dataset.
Source code is available in the repository.
The dataset was created for aiding the training of sentence transformer models in the Danish Foundation Models project.
