### Dataset Summary

A paraphprase corpus created from 10 different Romanian language Bible versions. Since the Bible has all paragraphs uniquely numbered an alignment between two 
versions is straighforward. 
We compiled a complete combination of paragraph pairs from the following Bible versions:

- Română Noul Testament Interconfesional 2009
- Biblia în versuri 2014
- Biblia Traducerea Fidela 2015
- Biblia în Versiune Actualizată 2018
- Ediția Dumitru Cornilescu revizuită 2022
- Noua Traducere Românească
- Noul Testament SBR 2023
- Versiunea Biblia Romano-Catolică 2020
- Biblia sau Sfânta Scriptură cu Trimiteri 1924, Dumitru Cornilescu
- Traducere Literală Cornilescu 1931

In order to provide a similarity score between two paragraphs, we use FuzzyWuzzy library to compute the partial_token_sort_ratio (PTSoR)
between the lemmatized versions of the two texts. The final similarity score between matching paragraphs was computed as follows:

  > score = 50 + ptsor // 2

where ptsor = partial_token_sort_ratio(lemmatize(text1), lemmatize(text2))


We also provide a set of non-matching texts, generated from a random pairing of paragraphs. 
The score for the non-matching paragraphs was computed using this formula:

  > score = int(ptsor / 2 +10)

The final dataset contains 904,815 similar records and 218,977 non matching records, totaling 1,123,927 

### Languages

Romanian

## Dataset Structure


### Data Instances


An example record looks as follows.

```
{
  'text1': 'Poporul a început să strige: „Este glasul lui Dumnezeu, nu al unui om!”',
  'text2': 'Norodul a strigat: „Glas de Dumnezeu, nu de om!”',
  'score': 82
}
```

### Data Fields

- `text1`, `text2`: compared Paragraphs
- `score`: 0 - 100 matching score (integer) - records with score > 50 are matches

### Data Statistics
