# WikiLingua: A Multilingual Abstractive Summarization Dataset #

**UPDATE:\
We have created new Train/Test splits for all 17 languages that can be downloaded [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PM7GFCy2gJL1WHqQz1dzqIDIEN6kfRoi/view?usp=sharing). These splits were created to ensure that there is no (document, summary) pair overlap across any of the 17 languages so that they can be safely used for multilingual evaluations.**

This repo contains dataset introduced in the following paper:

[WikiLingua: A New Benchmark Dataset for Multilingual Abstractive
Summarization](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.03093)

Download the dataset using [this link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PFvXUOsW_KSEzFm5ixB8J8BDB8zRRfHW?usp=sharing).

Please refer to this [Collab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1HxonmcM7EOQVal2I6oTi9QWEP257BgDP?usp=sharing) to see how to align articles in other languages with the parallel English articles.

## Description ##

The dataset includes ~770k article and summary pairs in 18 languages from WikiHow. We extracted gold-standard article-summary alignments across languages by aligning the images that are used to describe each how-to step in an article.

The table below shows number of article-summary pairs with a parallel article-summary pair in English.
