We introduce పద్యం2గద్యం (Padyam2Gadyam), a dataset for the task of poem-to-prose translation in both intra-lingual (TE–TE) and cross-lingual (TE–EN) settings.
The poems were sourced from publicly available online archives.
600 samples
- Sources: 13th-17th Century Telugu language poems
- Each sample contains a Telugu poem paired with its Telugu prose translation and English prose translation.
  - The Telugu prose is taken from the same source as the poem..
  - The English prose translation was first machine-generated from the Telugu prose translation, and then manually post-edited.
  - Other metadata: the poem’s meter and the source URL.
