English-Cebuano Bible Translation Dataset

This dataset contains parallel sentences of English and Cebuano extracted from the Bible corpus available at https://github.com/christos-c/bible-corpus. The dataset is formatted for use in training machine translation models, particularly with the Transformers library from Hugging Face.

Dataset Description

Source: Bible corpus (https://github.com/christos-c/bible-corpus)
Languages: English (en) and Cebuano (ceb)
Format: CSV files with two columns: english and cebuano.
Extraction: Sentences were extracted from the XML files inside the <seg> tags, and matched by their id attribute.
Purpose: To facilitate the development of English-Cebuano machine translation models.

Usage

This dataset can be used to fine-tune pre-trained language models for English-Cebuano machine translation using libraries like Transformers.

Example (Loading with Pandas):

import pandas as pd

train_df = pd.read_csv("english-ceb-bible.csv")
print(train_df.head())

Example (Loading with datsets):

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("eemberda/english-ceb-bible")
