# Dataset Card for Hmar Bible Dataset
This dataset contains parallel verses in English and Hmar languages, curated from the **American Standard Version (ASV)** for English and the **Christian Literature by Bible Society of India (CLBSI)** for Hmar. It is structured to facilitate linguistic and translation studies.
## Dataset Details
### Dataset Description
This dataset provides verse-level parallel translations of the Bible in English (ASV) and Hmar (CLBSI). Each book is saved as a separate CSV file with the structure:
| en | hmr |
|-----------------------------|------------------------------|
| "In the beginning..." | "A tîrin Pathienin hnuoi..." |
- **Curated by:** Hmar Language Development Project
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English, Hmar
- **License:** CC-BY-4.0
### Dataset Sources
- **Repository:** [Hmar Bible Dataset on GitHub](https://github.com/hmar-lang/hmar-bible-dataset)
- **Paper [optional]:** N/A
- **Demo [optional]:** N/A
## Uses
### Direct Use
This dataset can be used for:
1. Linguistic analysis and translation studies.
2. Training or fine-tuning multilingual and low-resource language models.
3. Cross-language information retrieval tasks.
### Out-of-Scope Use
1. The dataset is not suitable for non-academic or commercial purposes that violate the licensing agreement.
2. It is not recommended for tasks requiring contextual annotations, as it only includes raw verses.
## Dataset Structure
The dataset consists of separate CSV files for each book of the Bible, named as `<Book_Name>.csv` (e.g., `Genesis.csv`).
- **Columns:**
- `en`: Verse content in English from ASV.
- `hmr`: Verse content in Hmar from CLBSI.
Example CSV structure for `Genesis.csv`:
| en | hmr |
|------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| "In the beginning..." | "A tîrin Pathienin hnuoi..." |
| "And the earth was..." | "Chun, hnuoi hi a sie..." |
### Corrections
During dataset creation, mismatched rows between the ASV Bible and CLBSI Bible were identified and corrected. The discrepancies were found in the following books:
1. **3 John:** ASV contains 14 verses, while CLBSI contains 15 verses.
2. **Ephesians:** ASV contains 155 verses, while CLBSI contains 154 verses.
3. **Revelation:** ASV contains 404 verses, while CLBSI contains 405 verses.
These mismatches were manually reviewed and resolved to ensure alignment in the final dataset.
### Observations
The translations, while attempting to be literal, cannot achieve a 100% word-for-word alignment due to inherent grammatical and linguistic differences between English and Hmar. The dataset reflects these nuances and captures the intended meaning as closely as possible.
## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
The dataset was created to promote the preservation of the Hmar language and to facilitate linguistic studies and translation model development for low-resource languages.
### Source Data
#### Data Collection and Processing
- **Source:** The English data was collected from the ASV Bible, and the Hmar data was collected from the CLBSI Bible.
- **Processing:** JSON files containing verses were parsed and matched on a verse-by-verse basis to create CSV files for each book.
#### Who are the source data producers?
The original texts are authored and compiled by:
1. The ASV Bible Committee.
2. Christian Literature by Bible Society of India (CLBSI).
### Annotations
No additional annotations were made. The dataset consists solely of raw verse content.
#### Personal and Sensitive Information
This dataset does not contain personal or sensitive information. It includes only publicly available religious texts.
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
1. **Bias:**
- Translational differences between ASV and CLBSI may introduce semantic mismatches.
- Cultural and doctrinal differences may influence the translations.
2. **Technical Limitations:**
- Limited to verse-level translations. Contextual analysis may require additional data.
- Verses in ASV and Hmar may not always align perfectly due to structural differences in the source texts.
## Recommendations
Users should ensure appropriate preprocessing and validation before using the dataset for critical applications.
