**MultiParaDetox**

This is the multilingual parallel dataset for the text detoxification task prepared for [CLEF TextDetox 2024](https://pan.webis.de/clef24/pan24-web/text-detoxification.html) shared task.
For each of 9 languages, we collected 1k pairs of toxic<->detoxified instances splitted into two parts: dev (400 pairs) and test (600 pairs). 

📰 **Updates**

**[2024]** You can check additional releases for [Ukrainian ParaDetox](https://huggingface.co/datasets/textdetox/uk_paradetox) and [Spanish ParaDetox](https://huggingface.co/datasets/textdetox/es_paradetox) from NAACL 2024!

**[2024]** **April, 23rd, update: We are realsing the parallel dev set! The test part for the final phase of the competition is available [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/textdetox/multilingual_paradetox_test)!!!**

**[2022]** You can also check previously created training corpora: [English ParaDetox](https://huggingface.co/datasets/s-nlp/paradetox) from ACL 2022 and [Russian ParaDetox](https://huggingface.co/datasets/s-nlp/ru_paradetox).
