#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ prepare_data.py ----------------- ResearchPilot ships with a hand-curated corpus of 17 REAL arXiv papers on low-resource / multilingual NLP (data/corpus.json), gathered directly from arxiv.org so the Space works immediately with no download step and no risk of a slow/failed dataset pull on first boot. This script is provided so you (or a recruiter) can OPTIONALLY expand the corpus using a real public Hugging Face dataset once the Space has internet access (this sandbox used to build the project did not, per docs/architecture.md). It uses the `datasets` library to pull a slice of a public arXiv-abstracts dataset from the Hugging Face Hub, filters it for low-resource/multilingual NLP relevance via keyword matching, converts it into the same corpus.json schema, and reports exactly how many real documents were added, their source dataset name/version, and what preprocessing was applied -- per the project's "no fabricated documents" requirement.
