Czech Punctuation, POS and Syntactic Dataset 🇨🇿

A High-Quality Dataset for Punctuation Restoration and Neuro-Symbolic LLM Grounding

This dataset is a structured, linguistically annotated corpus of the Czech language, specifically designed for Punctuation Restoration tasks, Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging, and token-level syntax embedding (such as nanoGPT custom metadata training).

Unlike pure raw text corpora, this dataset provides a deterministic 1:1 token-level mapping of morphological features (word class, grammatical case) and dependency syntax roles (subject, predicate, object) directly derived via Stanford's state-of-the-art Stanza pipeline (trained on the Prague Dependency Treebank standard).

📊 Dataset Structure

The dataset contains three official subsets split using a strict, reproducible 80% / 10% / 10% distribution with seed shuffling:

Train: 80% of sentences
Validation: 10% of sentences
Test: 10% of sentences

Data Schema

Every split is delivered in the optimized Apache Parquet format utilizing the following strict schema layout:

Column Name	Type	Description
`segment`	`string`	The original raw Czech sentence structure (text segment).
`punctuation_type`	`string`	Classification target category based on the sentence ending/comma presence (`čárka`, `tečka`, `otazník`, `vykřičník`, `žádná`).
`tokens_annotation`	`list (struct)`	An array of structured token profiles (excluding raw punctuation marks).

Inside `tokens_annotation` Struct:

slovo (string): The clean isolated token/word.
slovni_druh (string): Czech morphological category (podstatne_jmeno, sloveso, zajmeno, prislovce, predlozka, jiny).
vetny_clen (string): Syntactic dependency function (podmet, prisudek, predmet, jiny).
pad (int64): Real Czech grammatical case number (1 to 7), or 0 for indeclinable word classes.

💻 Usage Example

You can instantly load this dataset using the Hugging Face datasets library:

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the full dataset splits
dataset = load_dataset("KRadim/czech-punctuation-pos-syntax")

# Access individual splits
train_data = dataset["train"]
validation_data = dataset["validation"]
test_data = dataset["test"]

# Inspect an example row
print(train_data[0])

🛠️ Pipeline Construction Method

Ingestion & Balance: Aggregated raw multi-domain source datasets uniformly distributed across 5 structural punctuation categories.
Deep Neural Annotation: Processed locally using Stanford Stanza's Czech syntax parser. This ensures authentic dependency parsing and prevents the data hallucinations often introduced by Generative LLMs.
Symbolic Normalization: Native UPOS tags and feature vectors mapped cleanly to Czech vocabulary definitions (podmet, prisudek, pádové reprezentace).
Cloud-Native Serialization: Combined, shuffled (seed=42), sliced, and cast into an explicit PyArrow Table Layout with Snappy compression for instantaneous loading times.
