### Dataset Summary

IndicParaphrase is the paraphrasing dataset released as part of IndicNLG Suite. Each 
input is paired with up to 5 references. We create this dataset in eleven 
languages including as, bn, gu, hi, kn, ml, mr, or, pa, ta, te. The total
size of the dataset is 5.57M. 


### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

**Tasks:** Paraphrase generation

**Leaderboards:** Currently there is no Leaderboard for this dataset.

### Languages
-  `Assamese (as)`
-  `Bengali (bn)`
-  `Gujarati (gu)`
-  `Kannada (kn)`
-  `Hindi (hi)`
-  `Malayalam (ml)`
-  `Marathi (mr)`
-  `Oriya (or)`
-  `Punjabi (pa)`
-  `Tamil (ta)`
-  `Telugu (te)`

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

One example from the `hi` dataset is given below in JSON format. 
  ```
  {
    'id': '1',
 'input': 'निजी क्षेत्र में प्रदेश की 75 प्रतिशत नौकरियां हरियाणा के युवाओं के लिए आरक्षित की जाएगी।',
 'references': ['प्रदेश के युवाओं को निजी उद्योगों में 75 प्रतिशत आरक्षण देंगे।',
  'युवाओं के लिए हरियाणा की सभी प्राइवेट नौकरियों में 75 प्रतिशत आरक्षण लागू किया जाएगा।',
  'निजी क्षेत्र में 75 प्रतिशत आरक्षित लागू कर प्रदेश के युवाओं का रोजगार सुनिश्चत किया जाएगा।',
  'प्राईवेट कम्पनियों में हरियाणा के नौजवानों को 75 प्रतिशत नौकरियां में आरक्षित की जाएगी।',
  'प्रदेश की प्राइवेट फैक्टरियों में 75 फीसदी रोजगार हरियाणा के युवाओं के लिए आरक्षित किए जाएंगे।'],
 'target': 'प्रदेश के युवाओं को निजी उद्योगों में 75 प्रतिशत आरक्षण देंगे।'
}
  ```

### Data Fields
-  `id (string)`: Unique identifier.
-  `pivot (string)`: English sentence used as the pivot 
-  `input (string)`: Input sentence 
-  `references (list of strings)`: Paraphrases of `input`, ordered according to the least n-gram overlap
-  `target (string)`: The first reference (most dissimilar paraphrase) 



### Data Splits

We first select 10K instances each for the validation and test and put remaining in the training dataset. `Assamese (as)`, due to its low-resource nature, could only be split into validation and test sets with 4,420 examples each.
Individual dataset with train-dev-test example counts are given below:


Language      | ISO 639-1 Code |Train | Dev | Test |
--------------|----------------|-------|-----|------|
Assamese | as | - | 4,420 | 4,420 |
Bengali | bn | 890,445 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
Gujarati | gu |  379,202 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
Hindi | hi | 929,507 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
Kannada | kn |  522,148 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 
Malayalam | ml |761,933  | 10,000 | 10,000 | 
Marathi | mr |406,003 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 
Oriya | or | 105,970 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 
Punjabi | pa |  266,704 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 
Tamil | ta | 497,798 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
