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.

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.

We now introduce IndicGLUE, the Indic General Language Understanding Evaluation Benchmark, which is a collection of various NLP tasks as de- scribed below. The goal is to provide an evaluation benchmark for natural language understanding ca- pabilities of NLP models on diverse tasks and mul- tiple Indian languages.

Over the past few years, systems have been developed to control online content and eliminate abusive, offensive or hate speech content. However, people in power sometimes misuse this form of censorship to obstruct the democratic right of freedom of speech. Therefore, it is imperative that research should take a positive reinforcement approach towards online content that is encouraging, positive and supportive contents. Until now, most studies have focused on solving this problem of negativity in the English language, though the problem is much more than just harmful content. Furthermore, it is multilingual as well. Thus, we have constructed a Hope Speech dataset for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (HopeEDI) containing user-generated comments from the social media platform YouTube with 28,451, 20,198 and 10,705 comments in English, Tamil and Malayalam, respectively, manually labelled as containing hope speech or not. To our knowledge, this is the first research of its kind to annotate

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.

IRLCov19 is a multilingual Twitter dataset related to Covid-19 collected in the period between February 2020 to July 2020 specifically for regional languages in India. It contains more than 13 million tweets.
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.
We provide a new data set XWikiRef for the task of Cross-lingual Multi-document Summarization.

We present sentence aligned parallel corpora across 10 Indian Languages - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati, Urdu, Bengali, Oriya, Marathi, Punjabi, and English - many of which are categorized as low resource. The corpora are compiled from online sources which have content shared across languages. The corpora presented significantly extends present resources that are either not large enough or are restricted to a specific domain (such as health). We also provide a separate test corpus compiled from an independent online source that can be independently used for validating the performance in 10 Indian languages. Alongside, we report on the methods of constructing such corpora using tools enabled by recent advances in machine translation and cross-lingual retrieval using deep neural network based methods.
