Dataset Card for LuxAlign

⚠️ Update

We have updated the original dataset (fredxlpy/LuxAlign_v1) with the following improvements:

  • Data Coverage: Extended to news articles published up to 2nd December 2024 (previously May 10, 2024).
  • Data Cleaning: HTML tags that were previously undetected have now been removed.
  • Sentence Splitting: Improved sentence tokenizer performance to fix previously incorrect splits.
  • Placeholder Tags: Replaced phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs with [phone], [email], and [url] tags using regex patterns.

Dataset Summary

LuxAlign is a parallel dataset featuring Luxembourgish-English and Luxembourgish-French sentence pairs, introduced in LuxEmbedder: A Cross-Lingual Approach to Enhanced Luxembourgish Sentence Embeddings (Philippy et al., 2024). Designed to align the Luxembourgish embedding space with those of other languages, it enables improved cross-lingual sentence representations for Luxemborgish. This dataset was used to train the Luxembourgish sentence embedding model LuxEmbedder. The data originates from news articles published by the Luxembourgish news platform RTL.lu.

The sentence pairs in this dataset are not always exact translations but instead reflect high semantic similarity; hence, this dataset may not be suitable for training a machine translation model without caution.
