This corpus comprises of monolingual data for 100+ languages and also includes data for romanized languages. This was constructed using the urls and paragraph indices provided by the CC-Net repository by processing January-December 2018 Commoncrawl snapshots. Each file comprises of documents separated by double-newlines and paragraphs within the same document separated by a newline. The data is generated using the open source CC-Net repository.

WikiANN, also known as PAN-X, is a multilingual named entity recognition dataset. It consists of Wikipedia articles that have been annotated with LOC (location), PER (person), and ORG (organization) tags in the IOB2 format¹². This dataset serves as a valuable resource for training and evaluating named entity recognition models across various languages.

Belebele is a multiple-choice machine reading comprehension (MRC) dataset spanning 122 language variants. This dataset enables the evaluation of mono- and multi-lingual models in high-, medium-, and low-resource languages. Each question has four multiple-choice answers and is linked to a short passage from the FLORES-200 dataset. The human annotation procedure was carefully curated to create questions that discriminate between different levels of generalizable language comprehension and is reinforced by extensive quality checks. While all questions directly relate to the passage, the English dataset on its own proves difficult enough to challenge state-of-the-art language models. Being fully parallel, this dataset enables direct comparison of model performance across all languages. Belebele opens up new avenues for evaluating and analyzing the multilingual abilities of language models and NLP systems.

A special corpus of Indian languages covering 13 major languages of India. It comprises of 10000+ spoken sentences/utterances each of mono and English recorded by both Male and Female native speakers. Speech waveform files are available in .wav format along with the corresponding text. We hope that these recordings will be useful for researchers and speech technologists working on synthesis and recognition. You can request zip archives of the entire database here.

Naamapadam is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) dataset for the 11 major Indian languages from two language families. In each language, it contains more than 400k sentences annotated with a total of at least 100k entities from three standard entity categories (Person, Location and Organization) for 9 out of the 11 languages. The training dataset has been automatically created from the Samanantar parallel corpus by projecting automatically tagged entities from an English sentence to the corresponding Indian language sentence.
KanHope is a code mixed hope speech dataset for equality, diversity, and inclusion in Kannada, an under-resourced Dravidian language. The dataset consists of 6,176 user-generated comments in code mixed Kannada crawled from YouTube and manually labelled as bearing hope speech or not-hope speech.

We announce the release of a new multilingual speaker dataset called NITK-IISc Multilingual Multi-accent Speaker Profiling(NISP) dataset. The dataset contains speech in six different languages -- five Indian languages along with Indian English. The dataset contains speech data from 345 bilingual speakers in India. Each speaker has contributed about 4-5 minutes of data that includes recordings in both English and their mother tongue. The transcript for the text is provided in UTF-8 format. For every speaker, the dataset contains speaker meta-data such as L1, native place, medium of instruction, current residing place etc. In addition the dataset also contains physical parameter information of the speakers such as age, height, shoulder size and weight. We hope that the dataset is useful for a diverse set of research activities including multilingual speaker recognition, language and accent recognition, automatic speech recognition etc.
