Axya Tech QA Dataset

Dataset Summary

The Axya Tech QA Dataset is a comprehensive bilingual question-answering and translation dataset focused on the Dhivehi (Divehi) language. This dataset contains 1,000+ examples covering various types of language tasks including question-answering in Dhivehi about Maldives, bidirectional translation between English and Dhivehi, and conversational interactions. The dataset is designed to support the development of multilingual NLP models with a focus on the underrepresented Dhivehi language.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

Each instance in the dataset contains the following fields:

instruction: The task instruction or prompt
input: The input text or question
output: The expected output or answer
language: The target language for the output
task_type: The type of task being performed

Data Fields

instruction (string): Contains the task instruction, such as "Respond in Dhivehi to:" or "Translate the following English sentence to Dhivehi:"
input (string): The input text, question, or sentence to be processed
output (string): The correct output, answer, or translation
language (string): The language of the expected output ("Dhivehi" or "English")
task_type (string): The specific task category:
- qa_dv: Question-answering in Dhivehi
- translation_en_to_dv: English to Dhivehi translation
- translation_dv_to_en: Dhivehi to English translation

Data Splits

The dataset contains a single split:

train: ~1,000 examples

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The dataset appears to be curated specifically for educational and research purposes focusing on:

Cultural knowledge about the Maldives
Common conversational phrases and expressions
Everyday vocabulary and sentence structures
Bidirectional translation capabilities

Who are the source language producers?

The dataset contains content related to Dhivehi language and Maldivian culture, suggesting involvement of native Dhivehi speakers or language experts familiar with Maldivian cultural context.

Intended Use

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Question Answering: Answering questions about Maldives and general topics in Dhivehi
Machine Translation: Bidirectional translation between English and Dhivehi
Text Generation: Generating responses in Dhivehi for various prompts
Language Understanding: Understanding and processing Dhivehi text

Languages

Primary: Dhivehi (dv) - The official language of the Maldives
Secondary: English (en) - Used for translation pairs and instructions

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This dataset was created to address the lack of high-quality bilingual resources for the Dhivehi language. It focuses on:

Preserving and digitizing Dhivehi language content
Enabling cross-lingual understanding between English and Dhivehi
Supporting the development of NLP tools for underrepresented languages
Providing cultural and factual information about the Maldives

Source Data

The dataset includes:

Cultural and factual information about the Maldives
Common phrases and everyday conversations
Translation pairs covering various topics
Question-answer pairs in both languages

Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

This dataset contributes to the preservation and promotion of the Dhivehi language in digital spaces. It can help:

Develop better language technologies for Dhivehi speakers
Support language learning and education
Preserve cultural knowledge and linguistic diversity
Enable better cross-cultural communication

Discussion of Biases

Users should be aware that:

The dataset may reflect cultural perspectives specific to the Maldives
Translation quality may vary across different domains
The dataset size is limited, which may affect model generalization

Other Known Limitations

Limited domain coverage (primarily focused on cultural and general topics)
Relatively small dataset size for deep learning applications
May not cover all dialectal variations of Dhivehi
