The Universal Dependencies (UD) project seeks to develop cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation of morphology and syntax for multiple languages. The first version of the dataset was released in 2015 and consisted of 10 treebanks over 10 languages. Version 2.7 released in 2020 consists of 183 treebanks over 104 languages. The annotation consists of UPOS (universal part-of-speech tags), XPOS (language-specific part-of-speech tags), Feats (universal morphological features), Lemmas, dependency heads and universal dependency labels.

CC100

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

WikiANN (PAN-X)

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

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.

IPAC

IPAC (Icelandic Parallel Abstracts Corpus)

IPAC (Icelandic Parallel Abstracts Corpus ) is a new Icelandic-English parallel corpus, composed of abstracts from student theses and dissertations. The texts were collected from the Skemman repository which keeps records of all theses, dissertations and final projects from students at Icelandic universities. The corpus was aligned based on sentence-level BLEU scores, in both translation directions, from NMT models using Bleualign. The result is a corpus of 64k sentence pairs from over 6 thousand parallel abstracts.

Nordic Language Identification

Automatic language identification is a challenging problem. Discriminating between closely related languages is especially difficult. This paper presents a machine-learning approach for automatic language identification for the Nordic languages, which often suffer miscategorization by existing state-of-the-art tools. Concretely we will focus on discrimination between six Nordic languages: Danish, Swedish, Norwegian (Nynorsk), Norwegian (Bokmål), Faroese, and Icelandic. This is the data for the tasks. Two variants are provided: 10K and 50K, withholding 10,000 and 50,000 examples for each language respectively.
