In this work, we create Minangkabau–Indonesian (MIN-ID) parallel corpus by using Wikipedia. We obtain 224,180 Minangkabau and 510,258 Indonesian articles, and align documents through title matching, resulting in 111,430 MINID document pairs. After that, we do sentence segmentation based on simple punctuation heuristics and obtain 4,323,315 Minangkabau sentences. We then use the bilingual dictionary to translate Minangkabau article (MIN) into Indonesian language (ID'). Sentence alignment is conducted using ROUGE-1 (F1) score (unigram overlap) (Lin, 2004) between ID’ and ID, and we pair each MIN sentencewith an ID sentence based on the highest ROUGE1. We then discard sentence pairs with a score of less than 0.5 to result in 345,146 MIN-ID parallel sentences. We observe that the sentence pattern in the collection is highly repetitive (e.g. 100k sentences are about biological term definition). Therefore, we conduct final filtering based on top-1000 trigram by iteratively discarding sentences until the frequency of each trigram equals to 100. Finally, we obtain 16,371 MIN-ID parallel sentences and conducted manual evaluation by asking two native Minangkabau speakers to assess the adequacy and fluency (Koehn and Monz, 2006). The human judgement is based on scale 1–5 (1 means poor quality and 5 otherwise) and conducted against 100 random samples. We average the weights of two annotators before computing the overall score, and we achieve 4.98 and 4.87 for adequacy and fluency respectively. This indicates that the resulting corpus is high-quality for machine translation training.

Dataset Usage

Using datasets library

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

Using seacrowd library

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