Form submissions are still recorded, but contribution points are no longer given. Reviewing effort will be allocated to dataloader implementations and private datasheets for now. We will continue reviewing the public datasheet submissions for SEA after SEACrowd ends. +### 🗃️ Task 1: Submitting Metadata for Existing Public Datasets + +You can submit detailed metadata for existing datasets through [this form](https://form.jotform.com/team/232952680898069/seacrowd-sea-datasets).

You can take a look at the [dataloader guide](https://github.com/SEACrowd/seacrowd-datahub/blob/master/DATALOADER.md) and [examples](https://github.com/SEACrowd/seacrowd-datahub/tree/master/seacrowd/sea_datasets) in [SEACrowd Data Hub](https://github.com/SEACrowd/seacrowd-datahub). We will also ping the taken dataloader issues after 2 weeks of inactivity in case there's any trouble. -> Update (2024/03/30): The call for contribution for dataloader implementation will end on 15 May 2024. - ### 🔍 Task 3: Identifying Private AI Datasets of SEA Languages, Cultures, and/or Regions Unfortunately, some prior AI research on SEA languages is still hidden behind closed data. Surprisingly, the reason is as simple as the authors not considering releasing the data as an option before! In this task, you will search for prior research publications that did not make their data open and fill out [this form](https://form.jotform.com/team/232952680898069/seacrowd-paper-with-private-dataset). Our team will contact the reported work to negotiate the opening of their data with us. -> Update (2024/03/30): The call for contribution for private datasheet will end on 15 May 2024. - ### 🔓 Task 4: Opening Your Private AI Dataset of SEA If you have previous work with closed data (or have been contacted by us thanks to Task 3 :wink:), you can release your data and log it with us [here](https://form.jotform.com/team/232952680898069/seacrowd-sea-datasets). The data will still be owned by you and tied to your previous work, as we simply create a catalog of it. -> Update (2024/03/30): The call for contribution for opening private dataset will end on 15 May 2024. - ## Is there any other way to help? For sure. You can message one of the initiators to learn about the details. -## How much should I contribute? +## Communication Channels -Generally, you can contribute as much as you want and as little as you want!

Could you please help me? -Each confirmed contribution will be rewarded with points. The details of the contribution point system are provided in [our Data Hub](https://github.com/SEACrowd/seacrowd-datahub/blob/master/POINTS.md). A general rule of thumb is that the more complex the task is, the higher the number of points it will earn you. +Definitely. Please feel free to ask in `#general` on Discord or message one of the initiators so we can help you. :wink: -For example, since our goal is to open access to as many NLP datasets as possible, releasing your own private data should earn you a substantial number of points, especially if the languages are rare and the data quality is superb. +## Past Projects -Once your points reach 20, you will be rewarded with **merchandise and co-authorship**.
