NusaCrowd: Open Source Initiative for Indonesian NLP Resources
We present NusaCrowd, a collaborative initiative to collect and unify
existing resources for Indonesian languages, including opening access to
previously non-public resources. Through this initiative, we have brought
together 137 datasets and 118 standardized data loaders. The quality of the
datasets has been assessed manually and automatically, and their value is
demonstrated through multiple experiments. NusaCrowd's data collection enables
the creation of the first zero-shot benchmarks for natural language
understanding and generation in Indonesian and the local languages of
Indonesia. Furthermore, NusaCrowd brings the creation of the first multilingual
automatic speech recognition benchmark in Indonesian and the local languages of
Indonesia. Our work strives to advance natural language processing (NLP)
research for languages that are under-represented despite being widely spoken
