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

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
