### Dataset Summary

We present RO-STS-Parallel - a Parallel Romanian-English dataset obtained by translating the [STS English dataset](https://ixa2.si.ehu.eus/stswiki/index.php/STSbenchmark) dataset into Romanian. It contains 17256 sentences in Romanian and English.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[Needs More Information]

### Languages

The text dataset is in Romanian and English (`ro`, `en`)

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

An example looks like this:

```
{
  'translation': {
    'ro': 'Problema e si mai simpla.',
    'en': 'The problem is simpler than that.'
    }
}
```

### Data Fields

- translation:
  - ro: text in Romanian
  - en: text in English

### Data Splits

The train/validation/test split contain 11,498/3,000/2,758 sentence pairs.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

### Source Data
