**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 (`ben`), Gujarati (`guj`), Hindi (`hin`), Kannada (`kan`), Malayalam (`mal`), Marathi (`mar`), Odia (`ori`), Punjabi (`pan`), Tamil (`tam`), Telugu (`tel`), Urdu (`urd`), and English (`eng`). 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.
