VoxCeleb2 is a large scale speaker recognition dataset obtained automatically from open-source media. VoxCeleb2 consists of over a million utterances from over 6k speakers. Since the dataset is collected ‘in the wild’, the speech segments are corrupted with real world noise including laughter, cross-talk, channel effects, music and other sounds. The dataset is also multilingual, with speech from speakers of 145 different nationalities, covering a wide range of accents, ages, ethnicities and languages. The dataset is audio-visual, so is also useful for a number of other applications, for example – visual speech synthesis, speech separation, cross-modal transfer from face to voice or vice versa and training face recognition from video to complement existing face recognition datasets.

The Cross-lingual Natural Language Inference (XNLI) corpus is the extension of the Multi-Genre NLI (MultiNLI) corpus to 15 languages. The dataset was created by manually translating the validation and test sets of MultiNLI into each of those 15 languages. The English training set was machine translated for all languages. The dataset is composed of 122k train, 2490 validation and 5010 test examples.

ParaCrawl v.7.1 is a parallel dataset with 41 language pairs primarily aligned with English (39 out of 41) and mined using the parallel-data-crawling tool Bitextor which includes downloading documents, preprocessing and normalization, aligning documents and segments, and filtering noisy data via Bicleaner. ParaCrawl focuses on European languages, but also includes 9 lower-resource, non-European language pairs in v7.1.

AVSpeech is a large-scale audio-visual dataset comprising speech clips with no interfering background signals. The segments are of varying length, between 3 and 10 seconds long, and in each clip the only visible face in the video and audible sound in the soundtrack belong to a single speaking person. In total, the dataset contains roughly 4700 hours of video segments with approximately 150,000 distinct speakers, spanning a wide variety of people, languages and face poses.

CCAligned consists of parallel or comparable web-document pairs in 137 languages aligned with English. These web-document pairs were constructed by performing language identification on raw web-documents, and ensuring corresponding language codes were corresponding in the URLs of web documents. This pattern matching approach yielded more than 100 million aligned documents paired with English. Recognizing that each English document was often aligned to multiple documents in different target language, it is possible to join on English documents to obtain aligned documents that directly pair two non-English documents (e.g., Arabic-French).

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 introduce GLAMI-1M: the largest multilingual image-text classification dataset and benchmark. The dataset contains images of fashion products with item descriptions, each in 1 of 13 languages. Categorization into 191 classes has high-quality annotations: all 100k images in the test set and 75% of the 1M training set were human-labeled. The paper presents baselines for image-text classification showing that the dataset presents a challenging fine-grained classification problem: The best scoring EmbraceNet model using both visual and textual features achieves 69.7% accuracy. Experiments with a modified Imagen model show the dataset is also suitable for image generation conditioned on text.
