- Description
- The dataset was extracted from publicly available online sources, primarily Lithuanian news portal publications from the period 2014–2020 (~500M words). It includes patterns using the following Perl-style regular expression: [[:upper:]][-\x27[:lower:]]+\s+[[:upper:]][-\x27[:lower:]]+\s+\([[:upper:]][-\x27[:lower:]]+\s+[[:upper:]][-\x27[:lower:]]+\s*\) This pattern captures two adjacent uppercase-initial strings followed by another pair of uppercase-initial strings enclosed in parentheses: "Name Surname (Name Surname)". The resulting list was sorted, duplicates removed, and frequency counts added to each pattern. The dataset was intended for training a foreign-to-Lithuanian transliteration model for text-to-speech (TTS) applications. Note: the dataset may contain noise, including non-valid transliterations and inconsistent ordering between Lithuanian and foreign names. Further cleaning or filtering may be required depending on the intended use.
