# Czech Verse Form Classification

Single-label **Czech poetic form classification** for PoetryMTEB, using **gold** `form` labels from the Corpus of Czech Verse (CCV) subset packaged in [multilingual-annotated-poems](https://github.com/riazhsks/multilingual-annotated-poems).

Only poems with a non-empty original form label are kept (most CCV poems are unlabeled for form). Rule-based auto-form labels are **not** used.

| **Languages** | Czech (`cs`) |

## Construction method

1. Load CCV JSONL from multilingual-annotated-poems.
2. Keep rows with gold `form` + `text` (skip `null` form).
3. Length filter; keep classes ≥ 10.
4. Frequency-descending label ids; stratified train/test.

## How to load

```python

from datasets import load_dataset



ds = load_dataset("PoetryMTEB/CzechVerseFormClassification")

print(ds["test"][0]["label_name"])

```
