Three Buddhist Vocabularies: Computational Stylometry of the English Pali Canon across Sutta, Vinaya, and Abhidhamma

We present a computational stylometric analysis of the Tipitaka across all three Pitakas in English translation, extending earlier work on the Sutta Pitaka alone. The corpus spans 134,831 segments from Bhikkhu Sujato's Sutta Pitaka (114,591 segments, CC0), Bhikkhu Brahmali's Vinaya Pitaka (7,923 segments, CC0 2026), I.

TatBLiMP: A Benchmark of Linguistic Minimal Pairs for Tatar

TatBLiMP is the first benchmark of linguistic minimal pairs for the Tatar language, covering 16 morphosyntactic phenomena across 1,248 sentence pairs that differ by a single morpheme. Each pair contains one grammatical and one ungrammatical sentence, with the ungrammatical version generated by a deterministic perturbation and ratified by a native speaker. The benchmark evaluates models by comparing their assigned probabilities, allowing assessment without text generation or parsing, and tracks performance across from-scratch, cross‑lingual, and multilingual large language models.

Viveka-Insight: a cross-lingual concept graph and citation-grounded retrieval resource over the complete works of Swami Vivekananda in English and Bengali

Viveka-Insight is a bilingual resource and open‑source pipeline for Swami Vivekananda’s complete works, providing a structure‑preserving parse of 32,694 paragraphs and 168,842 sentences, a cross‑lingual concept graph with 8,362 language‑agnostic concepts, a bilingual alias inventory of 60,850 surface forms, and a human‑annotated set of 200 paragraph‑concept edges. The resource enables citation‑grounded retrieval across the English and Bengali corpora, achieving Recall@10 of 0.86 for known‑item cross‑lingual queries and demonstrating concept‑extraction precision of 0.60 (up to 0.71 with confidence filtering). The design is intended to be transferable to other multilingual classical corpora.

IKS-Instruct: A 24,000-Example Multilingual Dataset for Teaching Language Models Indian Knowledge Systems

arXiv:2607. 23322v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Instruction tuning has become the standard method for adapting large language models to follow human intent, yet existing instruction datasets are dominated by English-language general-knowledge tasks and lack coverage of specialized pedagogical domains.

BHARATI: Morphology-Aware Tokenizers for Classical Indian Languages with Subword Fertility Analysis

arXiv:2607. 23319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard subword tokenization algorithms such as Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) and SentencePiece are trained predominantly on modern language corpora and produce inefficient segmentations when applied to classical Indian languages.

Wontopos Tablet 2: Measuring Multilingual and Multimodal Memory Retrieval Without Lexical Matching

The paper evaluates the tablet‑2 long‑term memory engine on multilingual text benchmarks and cross‑lingual photo retrieval without lexical matching. Tablet‑2 achieves high accuracy on LongMemEval‑S (95.7%) and moderate accuracy on BEAM‑1M (67.5%), with minimal variance across runs. In multimodal tests, it outperforms BM25 on image‑cell recall and shows significant language‑dependent performance gaps, especially for low‑resource languages.

Flesch-Kincaid Readability Depends Only on the Topic Distribution in Long Texts under Topic Models

The paper shows that the Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch‑Kincaid Grade Level scores, which are computed from the same two document statistics, converge almost surely to deterministic functions of a document’s topic distribution when modeled with a topic model that includes explicit sentence boundaries. In the long‑text limit, all variation in these scores is driven solely by topical composition, not by any residual readability signal. Experiments on the Brown and BNC corpora demonstrate that a topic vector inferred from one half of a document can predict the other half’s FKGL with substantial correlation (r = 0.779 and 0.884), though adding this prediction to genre and syllable‑count features yields only marginal gains in explained variance.
