### Dataset Summary

xMINDsmall is an open, large-scale multi-parallel news dataset for multi- and cross-lingual news recommendation. 
It is derived from the English [MINDsmall](https://msnews.github.io/) dataset using open-source neural machine translation (i.e., [NLLB 3.3B](https://huggingface.co/facebook/nllb-200-3.3B)).

For the *large version* of the dataset, see [xMINDlarge](https://huggingface.co/datasets/aiana94/xMINDlarge).

### Uses 

This dataset can be used for machine translation, text retrieval, or as a benchmark dataset for news recommendation.


### Languages

xMIND contains news translated into 14 linguistically and geographically diverse languages, with digital footprints of varying sizes.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances
```
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> data = load_dataset('aiana94/xMINDsmall', 'ron')

# Please, specify the language code.

# A data point example is below:

{
"nid": "N49265"
"title": "Aceste reţete cu sos de afine sunt perfecte pentru cina de Ziua Recunoştinţei.",
"abstract": "Nu vei mai vrea niciodată versiunea cumpărată din magazin."
}

```

### 


### Data Fields

- nid (string): news ID (same as in the [MIND dataset](https://msnews.github.io/))
- title (string): news title
- abstract (string) : news abstract (optional)

### Data Splits

For all languages, there are two split: `train`, and `dev`.

## Dataset Creation


### Source Data

The news were machine-translated from the [MINDsmall dataset](https://msnews.github.io/).

#### Data Collection and Processing

We translated the news articles using the open-source model [NLLB 3.3B](https://huggingface.co/facebook/nllb-200-3.3B). 
For more details regarding the translation setup and data quality, we refer to the corresponding [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.17876).

#### Personal and Sensitive Information

The data is sourced from newspaper sources and contains mentions of public figures and individuals.


## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset
[More Information Needed]


### Discussion of Biases
[More Information Needed]


### Other Known Limitations

Users should keep in mind that the dataset contains short news texts (e.g., news titles and abstracts), which might limit the applicability of the developed systems to other domains.

## Additional Information 

### Licensing Information
The dataset is released under the [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/).
If you intend to use, adapt, or share xMINDsmall, particularly together with additional news and click behavior information from the original MIND dataset, please read and reference the [Microsoft Research License Terms](https://github.com/msnews/MIND/blob/master/MSR%20License_Data.pdf) of MIND.
