- ### Domain Distribution
101
 
102
  The domain distribution is highly imbalanced: the vast majority of URLs come from a small number of domains. Most notably, `www.rtr.ch` dominates the dataset with nearly 80,000 URLs, followed by `m.rtr.ch` and `www.gr.ch` with significantly fewer entries. All other domains appear less frequently, with fewer than 10,000 URLs each.
103
 
104
  This indicates that the Romansh dataset is heavily influenced by a few large sources, primarily public institutions and media outlets such as Radiotelevisiun Svizra Rumantscha (RTR) and cantonal websites.While this concentration can benefit consistency and linguistic quality, it may also limit the variety of content and styles represented in the dataset. This imbalance should be considered in any downstream tasks, as it could influence model performance and generalizability.

127
-
128
- We compared cosine similarity thresholds (0.50–0.80) using two penalty settings for the original dataset: Absolute and relative sentence length.
129
- - `ALPHA = None` and `LENGTH_PENALTY_TYPE = None` (no length regularization)
130
- - `ALPHA=0.005` (absolute penalty)
131
- - `LENGTH_PENALTY_TYPE = 0.05` (relative penalty)
132
-
133
- REVISE
134
- ALPHA=None produced more matches, especially at low thresholds, but with a steep quality drop as the threshold increased. Alpha=0.005 yielded fewer but more consistent matches.
135
-
136
- To determine a suitable _similarity threshold_ for aligning sentence pairs, we tested multiple values and observed that a threshold of **0.60** provided the best balance for this dataset (refer to `./analysis/threshold_analysis/threshold_comparisons.py`).
137
-
138
-
139
- ### Dataset Quality Note
140
-
141
- As the dataset was aligned using a relatively low cosine similarity threshold (e.g. 0.60) to increase the number of matches it likely reduces alignment quality and may introduce noisy or weakly related sentence pairs. Further filtering or manual inspection would be necessary to improve reliability.

+ The most filtered dataset combined with a relative length penalty (ALPHA=0.005) and a similarity threshold of 0.60 is the best aligned parallel data.
107
+ The heavy filtering removes noisy sentences before alignment, the relative penalty reduces mismatches without discarding too many valid pairs, and the 0.60 threshold balances precision and coverage. This setting consistently produced the cleanest and most reliable alignments in our comparisons.

110

111

112
+ We tested cosine similarity thresholds (0.50–0.80) with two length-penalty settings: absolute (ALPHA=0.005) and relative (ALPHA=0.005). Across all datasets, the relative penalty consistently produced more matches, as it scales with sentence length and is less restrictive.
113
+
114
+ The absolute penalty sharply reduced matches, especially above 0.55, while the relative penalty maintained higher counts but declined with increasing thresholds. In all datasets, 0.50–0.60 offered the best trade-off between quantity and precision, with the relative penalty being the more inclusive option and the absolute penalty the most conservative.
