SEACrowd/glotstorybook

The GlotStoryBook dataset is a compilation of children's storybooks from the Global Storybooks project, encompassing 174 languages organized for machine translation tasks. It features rows containing the text segment (text number), the language code, and the file name, which corresponds to the specific book and story segment. This structure allows for the comparison of texts across different languages by matching file names and text numbers between rows.

Languages

khg, khm, mya, tet, tha, vie

Supported Tasks

Self Supervised Pretraining

Dataset Usage

Using datasets library

from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/glotstorybook", trust_remote_code=True)

# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("glotstorybook", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("glotstorybook"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
