# TinyAya LID — Models, Eval Data & Training Artifacts

Artifacts for the **Contrastive UniLID** project: language identification using LLM tokenizer vocabularies (TinyAya 261k BPE→Unigram), trained on GlotLID-C, evaluated on CommonLID.

Source code: [github.com/divyanshsinghvi/tinyAyaLid](https://github.com/divyanshsinghvi/tinyAyaLid)

> **Note**: GlotLID-C training corpus is **not included** here — it can be re-downloaded from [`cis-lmu/glotlid-corpus`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cis-lmu/glotlid-corpus). This repo only ships the eval data, models, training weights, and LLM cache.

## Data Formats

- **fastText format** (`__label__<lang_Script> <text>`): all CommonLID files
- **Plain text** (one sentence per line): misc training files

## Languages

- **CommonLID eval**: 109 language tags (373,230 samples in `commonlid_full.txt`)
- **Alias mapping** (CommonLID→model individual code):
  `ara→arb, aze→azj, bik→bcl, est→ekk, lav→lvs, mlg→plt, msa→zsm, orm→gaz, swa→swh, tgl→fil, uzb→uzn, zho→cmn`

## Reproducing Training

To retrain a model, download GlotLID-C separately:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("cis-lmu/glotlid-corpus")
```
Then run `train.py` from the source repo using the desired tokenizer.
