Data Preprocessing
- Data Splitting: To create a test set; all data sources are equally represented in terms of the number of sentences contributed to the test dataset. In terms of sentence length, the test set distribution is similar to the sentence length distribution of the whole dataset. After picking the test set, from the remaining data the train and validation data are split using sklearn's train_test_split.
Data Collection
Data Collection Process: The monolingual source sentences were obtained through web-scraping of several websites containing English sentences.
Data Sources:
- Coursera
- Atingi
- Wikipedia
Dataset Creation
After collecting the monolingual dataset, human translators were employed to produce translations for the collected sentences. To ensure quality, each sentence was translated more than once, and each generated translation was assigned validation_score that was used to pick the best translation. The test dataset was further revised to remove or correct sentences with faulty translations.
