🚀 Bhojpuri Behavioral Corpus (Phase 2: Engineered Refinement)

⚠️ NOTICE: Phase 2 Refinement This repository contains the Phase 2 Engineered Refinement. This Phase 2 is automatically refined specifically to prevent class collapse during fine-tuning.

📌 Executive Summary

The Bhojpuri Behavioral Corpus (Phase 2) is a 68,822-row, rigidly balanced dataset engineered to solve the inherent instability of low-resource language fine-tuning. Moving beyond noisy web-scraped corpora, this dataset provides a sterile, perfectly stratified environment (1:1:1 ratio) to teach Large Language Models precise pragmatic boundaries and cross-lingual semantic alignment across diverse domains (Science, Agriculture, Environment, General).

🧠 Architectural Innovations

1. Mathematical Stratification (1:1:1)

To prevent the majority-class collapse common in naturalistic datasets, this corpus is artificially balanced to an exact 1:1:1 ratio:

Positive: 22,940 samples
Negative: 22,940 samples
Neutral: 22,942 samples This ensures the model's loss function penalizes misclassification equally across all sentiment vectors.

2. Cross-Lingual Alignment via Anchored Translation

A subset of the corpus utilizes an Anchored Translation format. Complex technical terms (e.g., 'आइसोटोप' / Isotope) are paired with their bracketed English equivalents directly within the Bhojpuri string. This is a deliberate architectural choice to provide an explicit semantic alignment signal, bridging the gap between high-resource English representations and low-resource Bhojpuri vernacular.

3. Contemporary Lexical Borrowing

The dataset intentionally preserves English loanwords and technical transliterations within the Devanagari script (e.g., 'मशीन' / Machine). Rather than artificially sanitizing the corpus to an archaic standard, this reflects authentic, contemporary Bhojpuri morphology.

📊 Dataset Schema

id: Unique identifier.
text: The Bhojpuri utterance (Devanagari script).
english_tr: High-fidelity semantic English translation.
label: Primary sentiment (positive, negative, neutral).
domain / sub_domain: Context of the utterance (e.g., agriculture, science).

⚙️ Intended Use & Limitations

Best For: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA), Teacher-model initialization, and cross-lingual representation alignment.
Limitations: Because the sentiment distribution is artificially balanced (33% per class), models trained exclusively on this dataset may over-predict positive/negative sentiments in real-world, highly neutral environments without threshold calibration or Adaptive Knowledge Distillation (AdaptKD).
