Dataset Card for [Dataset Name]

Dataset Summary

This dataset provides the data for mLAMA, a multilingual version of LAMA. Regarding LAMA see https://github.com/facebookresearch/LAMA. For mLAMA the TREx and GoogleRE part of LAMA was considered and machine translated using Google Translate, and the Wikidata and Google Knowledge Graph API. The machine translated templates were checked for validity, i.e., whether they contain exactly one '[X]' and one '[Y]'.

This data can be used for creating fill-in-the-blank queries like "Paris is the capital of [MASK]" across 53 languages. For more details see the website http://cistern.cis.lmu.de/mlama/ or the github repo https://github.com/norakassner/mlama.

Languages

This dataset contains data in 53 languages: af,ar,az,be,bg,bn,ca,ceb,cs,cy,da,de,el,en,es,et,eu,fa,fi,fr,ga,gl,he,hi,hr,hu,hy,id,it,ja,ka,ko,la,lt,lv,ms,nl,pl,pt,ro,ru,sk,sl,sq,sr,sv,ta,th,tr,uk,ur,vi,zh

Dataset Structure

For each of the 53 languages and each of the 43 relations/predicates there is a set of triples.

Data Instances

For each language and relation there are triples, that consists of an object, a predicate and a subject. For each predicate there is a template available. An example for dataset["test"][0] is given here:

{
'language': 'af',
'lineid': 0, 
'obj_label': 'Frankryk', 
'obj_uri': 'Q142', 
'predicate_id': 'P1001', 
'sub_label': 'President van Frankryk', 
'sub_uri': 'Q191954', 
'template': "[X] is 'n wettige term in [Y].", 
'uuid': '3fe3d4da-9df9-45ba-8109-784ce5fba38a'
}

Data Fields

Each instance has the following fields

"uuid": a unique identifier
"lineid": a identifier unique to mlama
"obj_id": knowledge graph id of the object
"obj_label": surface form of the object
"sub_id": knowledge graph id of the subject
"sub_label": surface form of the subject
"template": template
"language": language code
"predicate_id": relation id

Data Splits

There is only one partition that is labelled as 'test data'.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The dataset was translated into 53 languages to investigate knowledge in pretrained language models multilingually.
