+ # Dataset Card for ASV-CLBSI Bible Dataset
6
+
7
+ 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.
8
+
9
+ ## Dataset Details
10
+
11
+ ### Dataset Description
12
+
13
+ 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:
14
+
15
+ | en | hmr |
16
+ |-----------------------------|------------------------------|
17
+ | "In the beginning..." | "A tîrin Pathienin hnuoi..." |
18
+
19
+ - **Curated by:** Donal Muolhoi
20
+ - **Language(s) (NLP):** English, Hmar
21
+ - **License:** CC-BY-4.0
22
+
23
+ ### Dataset Sources
24
+
25
+ - **Repository:** [GitHub Repository Link Needed]
26
+ - **Paper [optional]:** N/A
27
+ - **Demo [optional]:** N/A
28
+
29
+ ## Uses
30
+
31
+ ### Direct Use
32
+
33
+ This dataset can be used for:
34
+ 1. Linguistic analysis and translation studies.
35
+ 2. Training or fine-tuning multilingual and low-resource language models.
36
+ 3. Cross-language information retrieval tasks.
37
+
38
+ ### Out-of-Scope Use
39
+
40
+ 1. The dataset is not suitable for non-academic or commercial purposes that violate the licensing agreement.
41
+ 2. It is not recommended for tasks requiring contextual annotations, as it only includes raw verses.
42
+
43
+ ## Dataset Structure
44
+
45
+ The dataset consists of separate CSV files for each book of the Bible, named as `<Book_Name>.csv` (e.g., `Genesis.csv`).
46
+
47
+ - **Columns:**
48
+ - `en`: Verse content in English from ASV.
49
+ - `hmr`: Verse content in Hmar from CLBSI.
50
+
51
+ Example CSV structure for `Genesis.csv`:
52
+
53
+ | en | hmr |
54
+ |------------------------------|-------------------------------|
55
+ | "In the beginning..." | "A tîrin Pathienin hnuoi..." |
56
+ | "And the earth was..." | "Chun, hnuoi hi a sie..." |
57
+
58
+ ### Corrections
59
+
60
+ During dataset creation, mismatched rows between the ASV Bible and CLBSI Bible were identified and corrected. The discrepancies were found in the following books:
61
+
62
+ 1. **3 John:** ASV contains 14 verses, while CLBSI contains 15 verses.
63
+ 2. **Ephesians:** ASV contains 155 verses, while CLBSI contains 154 verses.
64
+ 3. **Revelation:** ASV contains 404 verses, while CLBSI contains 405 verses.
65
+
66
+ These mismatches were manually reviewed and resolved to ensure alignment in the final dataset.
67
+
68
+ ### Observations
69
+
70
+ 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.
71
+
72
+ ## Dataset Creation
73
+
74
+ ### Curation Rationale
75
+
76
+ 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.
77
+
78
+ ### Source Data
79
+
80
+ #### Data Collection and Processing
81
+
82
+ - **Source:** The English data was collected from the ASV Bible, and the Hmar data was collected from the CLBSI Bible.
83
+ - **Processing:** JSON files containing verses were parsed and matched on a verse-by-verse basis to create CSV files for each book.
84
+
85
+ #### Who are the source data producers?
86
+
87
+ The original texts are authored and compiled by:
88
+ 1. The ASV Bible Committee.
89
+ 2. Christian Literature by Bible Society of India (CLBSI).
90
+
91
+ ### Annotations
92
+
93
+ No additional annotations were made. The dataset consists solely of raw verse content.
94
+
95
+ #### Personal and Sensitive Information
96
+
97
+ This dataset does not contain personal or sensitive information. It includes only publicly available religious texts.
98
+
99
+ ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
100
+
101
+ 1. **Bias:**
102
+ - Translational differences between ASV and CLBSI may introduce semantic mismatches.
103
+ - Cultural and doctrinal differences may influence the translations.
104
+
105
+ 2. **Technical Limitations:**
106
+ - Limited to verse-level translations. Contextual analysis may require additional data.
107
+ - Verses in ASV and Hmar may not always align perfectly due to structural differences in the source texts.
108
+
109
+ ## Recommendations
110
+
111
+ Users should ensure appropriate preprocessing and validation before using the dataset for critical applications.
