# Dataset Card for Pralekha

# Pralekha

PRALEKHA is a large-scale benchmark for evaluating document-level alignment techniques. It includes 2M+ documents, covering 11 Indic languages and English, with a balanced mix of aligned and unaligned pairs.

---

## Dataset Description

PRALEKHA covers 12 languages—Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, and English. It includes a mixture of high- and medium-resource languages, covering 11 different scripts. The dataset spans two broad domains: **news bulletins** and **podcast scripts**, offering both written and spoken forms of data. All the data is human-written or human-verified, ensuring high quality. 

The dataset has a **1:2 ratio of aligned to unaligned document pairs**, making it ideal for benchmarking cross-lingual document alignment techniques.

### Data Sources

1. **News Bulletins:** Data was custom-scraped from the [Indian Press Information Bureau (PIB)](https://pib.gov.in) website. Documents were aligned by matching bulletin IDs, which interlink bulletins across languages.
2. **Podcast Scripts:** Data was sourced from [Mann Ki Baat](https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/mann-ki-baat), a radio program hosted by the Indian Prime Minister. This program, originally spoken in Hindi, was manually transcribed and translated into various Indian languages.
