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

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

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.

Automatic Thematic Indexing of Large Literary Corpora: A Machine Learning Approach to Voltaire's Complete Works

arXiv:2607. 09316v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Thematic indexing -- the practice of assigning structured conceptual labels to sections of text -- is essential to scholarly access in large-scale literary and historical editions, yet it remains a largely manual, labour-intensive process.

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.

Which India Survives Translation? Narrative Homogenisation Across Indian Oral Traditions in LLMs

The study investigates how large language models (LLMs) handle diverse Indian oral traditions, using the Rajasthani Pabuji epic, Tamil Sangam poetry, and Bengali folk tales as case studies. By prompting Claude Sonnet and Gemini with 54 generation requests across generic, culturally specific, and regional-language prompts, the authors measured reference drift and cross-tradition convergence using Sentence‑BERT embeddings. Results show that while outputs stay closer to their own tradition than to others, there is significant cross‑tradition similarity (0.52–0.66), indicating partial homogenisation; moreover, regional‑language prompting consistently reduced fidelity to authentic traditions.
