| ## General Information |
|
|
| Release of the Mediomatix corpus, prepared by UZH and PHGR, to be used for research purposes only. |
|
|
| In mediomatix-raw, we release the full _Mediomatix_ schoolbooks' text for each idiom. The data points are unaligned. See [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ZurichNLP/mediomatix) for the mulit-parallel, aligned _Mediomatix_ corpus. |
|
|
| We use the following Romansh idiom codes as subsets in the dataset: |
| - Sursilvan: rm-sursilv |
| - Sutsilvan: rm-sutsilv |
| - Surmiran: rm-surmiran |
| - Puter: rm-puter |
| - Vallader: rm-vallader |
|
|
| The splits in each subset are: |
| - train: Text from year 2 and 3 schoolbooks |
| - validation: Text from year 4 schoolbooks |
| - test: Text from year 5 schoolbooks |
| - no_surmiran: Text from years 6-9; available for all idioms except rm-surmiran |
| |
| Each data point contains the following columns: |
| - CmsElementID: An id referring to which CMS element a text was extracted from. |
| - segmentID: A unique id for each row; differentiates between segments split apart from the same CMS element. |
| - text: The extracted plain text from within an HTML segment |
| - html: The extracted text, including any HTML markup |
| - chapter: The name of the chapter from which a text was extracted |
| - book: A code referring to the grade, volume, and type of school book |
| |
| |
| Book names are encoded in the "book" column as follows: |
| - The first digit refers to the school year of the book |
| - The next refers to the book volums for that school year |
| - The two letter code indicates whether the segment comes from the student workbook ("wb") or teacher's commentary ("tc") |
| - Example: Book "5.1_tc" refers to teacher's commentary for Volume 1 of the year 5 schoolbook. |
|
|
| ## How to Use |
|
|
| The subset for a specific Romansh idiom must be specified when loading the datset: |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| sursilv = load_dataset("ZurichNLP/mediomatix-raw","rm-sursilv") |
| |
| # Load Train set: |
| |
| train_set = sursilv['train'] |
| |
| # Load Validation set: |
| |
| val_set = sursilv['validation'] |
| |
| # Load Test set: |
| |
| test_set = sursilv['test'] |
| |
| # Load no-rm-surmiran if the subset is not rm-surmiran |
| no_surm = sursilv['no_surmiran'] |
| ``` |
