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.

The Image-Grounded Language Understanding Evaluation (IGLUE) benchmark brings together—by both aggregating pre-existing datasets and creating new ones—visual question answering, cross-modal retrieval, grounded reasoning, and grounded entailment tasks across 20 diverse languages. The benchmark enables the evaluation of multilingual multimodal models for transfer learning, not only in a zero-shot setting, but also in newly defined few-shot learning setups.

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.

This dataset consists of images and annotations in Bengali. The images are human annotated in Bengali by two adult native Bengali speakers. All popular image captioning datasets have a predominant western cultural bias with the annotations done in English. Using such datasets to train an image captioning system assumes that a good English to target language translation system exists and that the original dataset had elements of the target culture. Both these assumptions are false, leading to the need of a culturally relevant dataset in Bengali, to generate appropriate image captions of images relevant to the Bangladeshi and wider subcontinental context. The dataset presented consists of 9,154 images.

We introduce a new Dataset (BN-HTRd) for offline Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) from images of Bangla scripts comprising words, lines, and document-level annotations. The BN-HTRd dataset is based on the BBC Bangla News corpus - which acted as ground truth texts for the handwritings. Our dataset contains a total of 786 full-page images collected from 150 different writers. With a staggering 1,08,181 instances of handwritten words, distributed over 14,383 lines and 23,115 unique words, this is currently the 'largest and most comprehensive dataset' in this field. We also provided the bounding box annotations (YOLO format) for the segmentation of words/lines and the ground truth annotations for full-text, along with the segmented images and their positions. The contents of our dataset came from a diverse news category, and annotators of different ages, genders, and backgrounds, having variability in writing styles. The BN-HTRd dataset can be adopted as a basis for various handwriting c

This dataset contains images of individual hand-written Bengali characters. Bengali characters (graphemes) are written by combining three components: a grapheme_root, vowel_diacritic, and consonant_diacritic. Your challenge is to classify the components of the grapheme in each image. There are roughly 10,000 possible graphemes, of which roughly 1,000 are represented in the training set. The test set includes some graphemes that do not exist in the train but has no new grapheme components. It takes a lot of volunteers filling out sheets like this to generate a useful amount of real data; focusing the problem on the grapheme components rather than on recognizing whole graphemes should make it possible to assemble a Bengali OCR system without handwriting samples for all 10,000 graphemes.

BanglaEmotion is a manually annotated Bangla Emotion corpus, which incorporates the diversity of fine-grained emotion expressions in social-media text. More fine-grained emotion labels are considered such as Sadness, Happiness, Disgust, Surprise, Fear and Anger - which are, according to Paul Ekman (1999), the six basic emotion categories. For this task, a large amount of raw text data are collected from the user’s comments on two different Facebook groups (Ekattor TV and Airport Magistrates) and from the public post of a popular blogger and activist Dr. Imran H Sarker. These comments are mostly reactions to ongoing socio-political issues and towards the economic success and failure of Bangladesh. A total of 32923 comments are scraped from the three sources aforementioned above. Out of these, a total of 6314 comments were annotated into the six categories. The distribution of the annotated corpus is as follows:

India is a linguistic area with one of the longest histories of contact, influence, use, teaching and learning of English-in-diaspora in the world (Kachru and Nelson, 2006). Thus, a huge number of Indians active on the internet are able in English communication to some degree. India also enjoys huge diversity in language. Apart from Hindi, it has several regional languages that are the primary tongue of people native to the region. This is to the extent that social media including Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc. contain more than one language, and such phenomena are called code-mixing and code-switching. On the other side, the evolution of sentiments from such social media texts have also created many new opportunities for information access and language technology, but also many new challenges, making it one of the prime present-day research areas. Sentiment analysis in code-mixed data has several real-life applications in opinion mining from social media campaign to feedback analys

The ComMA Dataset v0.2 is a multilingual dataset annotated with a hierarchical, fine-grained tagset marking different types of aggression and the "context" in which they occur. The context, here, is defined by the conversational thread in which a specific comment occurs and also the "type" of discursive role that the comment is performing with respect to the previous comment. The initial dataset, being discussed here (and made available as part of the ComMA@ICON shared task), consists of a total 15,000 annotated comments in four languages - Meitei, Bangla, Hindi, and Indian English - collected from various social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Telegram. As is usual on social media websites, a large number of these comments are multilingual, mostly code-mixed with English.

WEATHub is a dataset containing 24 languages. It contains words organized into groups of (target1, target2, attribute1, attribute2) to measure the association target1:target2 :: attribute1:attribute2. For example target1 can be insects, target2 can be flowers. And we might be trying to measure whether we find insects or flowers pleasant or unpleasant. The measurement of word associations is quantified using the WEAT metric in our paper. It is a metric that calculates an effect size (Cohen's d) and also provides a p-value (to measure statistical significance of the results). In our paper, we use word embeddings from language models to perform these tests and understand biased associations in language models across different languages.

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.
