Paper	Reimagining Literary Analysis: Utilizing Artificial Intelligence to Classify Modernist French Poetry (DOI 10.3390/info15020070)
Languages	French (fr)
Unit	Poem text (poem; upstream field content)
Classes	3 literary styles / movements
Size	train=1143; test=494
Splits	Upstream train_set.csv / test_set.csv; train texts that exactly match any test poem were removed (9 dropped) to avoid leakage
Text note	Upstream preprocessing: typically lowercased French with diacritics removed
Evaluation metrics	Classification on embeddings: accuracy, macro/weighted F1

Construction method

1. Load upstream ml/data/french/train_set.csv and test_set.csv (genre, content).
2. Map genre ids to readable movement names (same mapping as upstream TF-IDF/Doc2Vec scripts).
3. Drop train rows whose poem text exactly equals any test poem.
4. Export parquet splits for PoetryMTEB embedding classification.
