📚 ViuTranslate-Data

A 100% Authentic Human-Curated Parallel Corpus for English ↔ Hindi Neural Translation

📌 Introduction & Overview

ViuTranslate-Data is a production-grade bilingual parallel corpus curated specifically for fine-tuning neural machine translation foundation models (like ViuAI Sarus-500M).

Every single sentence pair is extracted from official, published academic and institutional corpora. Zero synthetic data, zero LLM-prompted dialogues, and zero templated variations were used.

🛡️ Rigorous Quality Control Guardrails

To prevent dataset contamination, hallucinations, and vocabulary pollution, all samples were audited through strict mathematical heuristics:

1. Length Ratio Boundary: $$\quad 0.40 \le \frac{\text{len}(\text{English})}{\text{len}(\text{Hindi})} \le 2.40$$ Pairs violating this ratio were strictly pruned to eliminate incomplete or runaway translations.
2. Script Purity & Unicode Verification:
   • English side enforced $\ge 50%$ Latin alphabetic characters ($[A-Za-z]$).
   • Hindi side enforced $\ge 40%$ Devanagari Unicode characters ($[\u0900-\u097F]$).
3. Hygiene & Sanitation:
   • 100% stripped of HTML tags, XML nodes, source code snippets, URLs, and file paths.
4. Exact Cryptographic Deduplication:
   • SHA-256 hash deduplication ensuring zero repeated pairs across train and validation sets.

💡 Loading the Dataset

1. Using Hugging Face datasets

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("ViuAI/ViuTranslate-Data", data_files={"train": "raw/viu_translate_100k_train.json"})
print("Sample 0:", dataset["train"][0])

2. Loading Pre-tokenized Memory-Mapped Shards (Fastest for Training)

import numpy as np
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

tokens_file = hf_hub_download(repo_id="ViuAI/ViuTranslate-Data", filename="train_tokens.npy", repo_type="dataset")
tokens = np.load(tokens_file, mmap_mode="r")
print(f"Loaded {len(tokens):,} memory-mapped tokens.")
