This dataset consists of a single csv with 10,000,000 rows which are pairs of sentences or phrases. The first member of each pair is a sentence or phrase in Classical Tibetan. The second member is the English translation of the first.

The pairs are pulled from texts sourced from Lotsawa House and are offered under the same license as the original texts from which they are sourced.

This data was scraped, cleaned, and formatted programmatically. Because of the difficulty in assembling data in this way from a variety of structures used by translators, it is not of high quality, and should only be used for proof-of-concept modeling.

A much smaller, and somewhat cleaner version of this dataset can be found at ['billingsmoore/tibetan-to-english-translation-dataset'](https://huggingface.co/datasets/billingsmoore/tibetan-to-english-translation-dataset)

This dataset was used to train the model ['billingsmoore/phonetic-tibetan-to-english-translation'](https://huggingface.co/billingsmoore/phonetic-tibetan-to-english-translation)

This dataset is also [available on Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/billingsmoore/classical-tibetan-to-english-translation-dataset).

This dataset was originally created for the [MLotsawa project and the code that was used to create it can be found here](https://github.com/billingsmoore/MLotsawa)
