# Wikidata parallel descriptions en-ja
- Parallel corpus for machine translation generated from wikidata dump (2024-05-06).
- Currently we processed only English/Japanese pair.
- The `jsonl` file is ready-to-train by Hugging Face transformers translation task trainer.

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

## Dataset Creation
- As Wikidata description field is noisy and 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.

# License
- CC0
  - Because all structured data in Wikidata is originally licensed in CC0, this dataset can be also licensed in same license.
