# Dilmash: Karakalpak Parallel Corpus

This repository contains a parallel corpus for the Karakalpak language, developed as part of the research paper "Open Language Data Initiative: Advancing Low-Resource Machine Translation for Karakalpak".

## Dataset Description

The Karakalpak Parallel Corpus is a collection of 300,000 sentence pairs, designed to support machine translation tasks involving the Karakalpak language. It includes:

- Uzbek-Karakalpak (100,000 pairs)
- Russian-Karakalpak (100,000 pairs)
- English-Karakalpak (100,000 pairs)

## Usage

This dataset is intended for training and evaluating machine translation models involving the Karakalpak language.

To load and use dataset, run this script:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dilmash_corpus = load_dataset("tahrirchi/dilmash")
```

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 77.4 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 46.1 MB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 123.5 MB

An example of 'kaa_eng' looks as follows.
```
{'src_lang': 'kaa_Latn',
 'src_sent': 'Pedagogikalıq ideal balaǵa ıktıyatlılıq penen katnasta bolıw principine bárqulla, úlken hám kishi jumıslarda súyeniwdi talan etedi.',
 'tgt_lang': 'eng_Latn',
 'tgt_sent': 'The ideal of education demands that the principle of treating children with care be observed at all times, in both big and small matters.'
}
```

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

- `src_lang`: a `string` feature that contains source language.
- `src_sent`: a `string` feature that contains sentence in source language.
- `tgt_lang`: a `string` feature that contains target language.
- `tgt_sent`: a `string` feature that contains sentence in target language.

### Data Splits

| split_name      |num_examples|
|-----------------|-----------:|
| kaa_eng         | 100000     |
| kaa_rus         | 100000     |
| kaa_uzb         | 100000     |

## Data Sources

The corpus comprises diverse parallel texts sourced from multiple domains:

- 23% sentences from news sources
- 34% sentences from books (novels, non-fiction)
- 24% sentences from bilingual dictionaries
- 19% sentences from school textbooks

Additionally, 4,000 English-Karakalpak pairs were sourced from the Gatitos Project (Jones et al., 2023)[https://aclanthology.org/2023.emnlp-main.26].

## Data Preparation

The data mining process involved local mining techniques, ensuring that parallel sentences were extracted from translations of the same book, document, or article. Sentence alignment was performed using LaBSE (Language-agnostic BERT Sentence Embedding) embeddings.
