- # Parallel Corpus: Romansh - German
2
-
3
- This repository contains the code and methodology used to create the Romansh–German parallel corpus published on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sudehsna/parallel_dataset/settings). The project was developed as part of a programming course at the University of Zurich.

- ## Description
6
-
7
- This project performs document-level alignment between Romansh and German web texts, which were extracted from the [Fineweb2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2) dataset. It uses [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/text-embedding-3-small) embeddings and cosine similarity to identify potential parallel texts.
8
- The full dataset is available on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sudehsna/parallel_dataset/settings).

- ## Dataset
11
-
12
- This project uses the Romansh and German partitions of the [Fineweb2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2) dataset. Both the original and the removed versions of the dataset were used to improve alignment coverage.
13
-
14
- Since the German dataset contained significantly more entries than the Romansh dataset, it was filtered by retaining only those entries whose domains matched those found in the Romansh dataset.

16
- ## Method
17
-
18
- 1. **Preprocessing**:
19
- - German dataset filtered to only contain domains also appearing in Romansh dataset
20
- 2. **Manual Evaluation**:
21
- - A sample of 50 documents was manually checked to estimate alignability (see `analysis/manual_alignment`)
22
- 3. **Embedding**:
23
- - Used [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/text-embedding-3-small) `text-embedding-3-small` (with truncation at 8192 tokens)
24
- 4. **Similarity Calculation**:
25
- - Cosine similarity computed between Romansh and German document embeddings
26
- - With penalization for sentence length difference
27
- 5. **Evaluation**:
28
- - A Negative gold standard was used to ensure quality: a set of Romansh documents known to have no valid German alignment.

- ## Getting Started
33
-
34
- ### Set up environment
35
- ```bash
36
- python3 -m venv venv
37
- source venv/bin/activate
38
- pip install -r requirements.txt
39
- ```
40
-
41
- ### Run embedding
42
- ```bash
43
- python3 scripts/get_embeddings.py
44
- ```
45
- >**NOTE**: This project uses OpenAI's embedding models. To run the embedding script, you need to provide your own OpenAI API key.
46
-
47
- The output is a `.csv` file with the following structure:
48
-
49
- ```
50
- "text","id","metadata","embedding"
51
- ```
52
-
53
-
54
- ### Run similarity
55
- ```bash
56
- python3 scripts/cosine_sim.py
57
- ```
58
-
59
- The output is a `.jsonl` file containing entries in the following format:
60
-
61
- ```json
62
- {
63
- "romansh_text": " ... ",
64
- "german_text": " ... ",
65
- "similarity": float,
66
- "original_similarity": float
67
- }
68
- ```
69
- To determine a suitable _similarity threshold_ for aligning sentence pairs, we tested multiple values and observed that a threshold of **?** provided the best balance for this dataset (refer to `./scripts/threshold_comparisons.py`).
