# Padyam2GadyamMeterClassification

Single-label **Telugu poetic meter (chandassu) classification** for PoetryMTEB embedding evaluation, derived from [Padyam2Gadyam](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TeluguLLMResearch/Padyam2Gadyam).

## Dataset Card

| Item | Description |
|------|-------------|
| **Source** | [TeluguLLMResearch/Padyam2Gadyam](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TeluguLLMResearch/Padyam2Gadyam); paper [arXiv:2606.02806](https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.02806) |
| **Languages** | Telugu (`te`) |
| **Size** | train=468; test=118 (no validation; MTEB Classification uses train→fit, test→score) |
| **Classes** | 7 meters with frequency ≥ 10 |
| **Filtering** | Dropped 14 poems in rare meters (count &lt; 10); raw=600 → kept=586 |
| **Splits** | Stratified by meter ≈ 80% / 19% (`train` / `test`), seed=42 |

## Construction method

1. Load [TeluguLLMResearch/Padyam2Gadyam](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TeluguLLMResearch/Padyam2Gadyam).
2. Count `Meter`; keep classes with frequency ≥ 10.
3. Map kept meters to contiguous `label` ids (frequency-descending order).
4. Stratified train/test split by meter (no validation split).

---

## How to load

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("PoetryMTEB/Padyam2GadyamMeterClassification")
print(ds["test"][0]["label_name"], ds["test"][0]["poem"][:60])
```

For embedding evaluation, encode `poem`, fit a classifier on `train` labels, score on `test`.
