WikiLarge

HuggingFace implementation of the WikiLarge corpus for sentence simplification gathered by Zhang, Xingxing and Lapata, Mirella.

/!\ I am not one of the creators of the dataset, I just needed a HF version of this dataset and uploaded it. I encourage you to read the paper introducing the dataset: Sentence Simplification with Deep Reinforcement Learning (Zhang & Lapata, EMNLP 2017)

Uses

This dataset can be used to train sentence simplification models.

Dataset Structure

• Size of the generated dataset: 69.3 MB

An example of 'train' looks as follows.

{
    'complex': 'Sensing of both the external and internal environments at the cellular level relies on signal transduction . Many disease processes , such as diabetes , heart disease , autoimmunity , and cancer arise from defects in signal transduction pathways , further highlighting the critical importance of signal transduction to biology , as well as medicine .',
    'simple': 'A signal transduction in biology , is a cellular mechanism .'
