xMIND (A Multilingual Dataset for Cross-lingual News Recommendation)

xMIND is an open, large-scale multilingual news dataset for multi- and cross-lingual news recommendation. xMIND is derived from the English MIND dataset using open-source neural machine translation (i.e., NLLB 3.3B).

xMIND contains 130K news translated into 14 linguistically and geographically diverse languages, with digital footprints of varying sizes. The goal of xMIND is to serve as a benchmark dataset for news recommendation, and to foster broader research into multilingual and cross-lingual news recommendation, for speakers of both high and low-resource languages.
