Process-Venue/verb-translation-dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset offers a comprehensive collection of verb translations from English into Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit, three major Indian languages. Each entry provides the English verb alongside its corresponding translations, enabling multilingual analysis and cross-lingual studies. The dataset is meticulously curated to support a wide range of natural language processing (NLP) and language technology applications, including but not limited to translation, language learning, and linguistic research. Its structured format and multilingual coverage make it a valuable resource for developing and benchmarking models in low-resource and morphologically rich languages.

Key features:

• Parallel verb translations across four languages (English, Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit)
• Clean, structured format suitable for direct use in machine learning pipelines
• Designed for both academic research and practical language technology development
• Supports exploration of linguistic phenomena across Indo-Aryan languages

Dataset Summary

• Total records: 15,953
• Languages: English (source), Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit (targets)
• Columns: id, English Word, Hindi Translation, Marathi Translation, Sanskrit Translation, translation_pair
• Format: Parquet

Applications

This dataset can be used for:

• Multilingual Machine Translation: Train and evaluate models for translating verbs and short phrases between English, Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit.
• Language Learning Tools: Develop educational apps and resources for learners of Indian languages, leveraging parallel verb lists for vocabulary acquisition and practice.
• Cross-lingual Word Embeddings: Build and benchmark word embedding models that capture semantic relationships across multiple languages.
• Low-resource NLP Model Training: Support the creation of NLP models for Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit, which are often underrepresented in large-scale datasets.
• Data Augmentation for AI: Enrich other datasets or tasks (e.g., question answering, paraphrasing) with high-quality, aligned verb translations.
• Script Conversion and Transliteration: Develop and test tools for converting between Devanagari and Latin scripts, or for transliterating between languages.
