Tamasheq data contamination

#2
by ayymen - opened

The Tamasheq (taq, Tfng) subset is contaminated with Standard Moroccan Tamazight (zgh, Tfng) samples. You can just look at the last rows in each subset here, and here. They're identical.

Hi @ayymen and @kargaranamir !
I confirm that 35% of the texts in taq_Tfng and zgh_Tfng are identical.
Would you like to contribute the corrected Tamasheq translations?

And, while we are at it, could you please contribute a single Tamasheq sentence which is currently missing in FLORES+ (the one with id=492, see https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/flores_plus/discussions/6)?

Hello @cointegrated , I'm not qualified to contribute to the Tamasheq translations but the Tifinagh subset (taq_Tfng) seems to be largely a transliteration of the Latin one (taq_Latn). An easy fix or patch seems to be the transliteration of the remaining 2193 sentences.

I'm afraid it can't be done automatically because of the existence of loan words and foreign names, etc... which is an issue affecting the 4000 Tamasheq sentences as well.
