## Multilingual Lexical Normalization
[![MultiLexNorm](https://bytebucket.org/robvanderg/multilexnorm/raw/4345a4badba4d93515e016118483428d535add9c/multilexnorm-cover.png)]()


This is the HuggingFace version of the MultiLexNorm dataset.


The original repository (https://bitbucket.org/robvanderg/multilexnorm/) contains all data pre-processed in the same format:

```
Most	most
social	social
pple	people
r	are
troublesome	troublesome

```

Some of the languages include annotation for word splits and merges. When a
word is split, the normalization column include a white-space character, and
with a merge the normalization is only included for the first word:

```
if      If
i       i
have    have
a       a
head    headache
ache
tomorro tomorrow
ima     i'm going to
be      be
pissed  pissed

```

This Huggingface version instead can be loaded like:
```
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset(
    "robvanderg/MultiLexNorm",
    "dan",
    split="train",
)

print(ds)
Dataset({
    features: ['orig', 'norm'],
    num_rows: 719
})
```

The internal format is the same, so the norm list might contain empty elements or whitespaces (whereas the orig shouldn't)



## Citation
The data in this benchmark comes from many different sources, we collected
existing datasets and converged them to the same formate. This started with the
original MultiLexNorm, and did the same for MultiLexNorm++. We added Russian
data later.
