Multilingual Hierarchical Points of Interest (POI) with Portal Descriptions

Dataset Summary

This dataset contains fully localized Points of Interest (POIs) enriched with parallel multi-lingual text descriptions, structural operational categories, and deep geographic hierarchical assignments. It provides complete string translations across Greek (EL), English (EN), and Bulgarian (BG).

Beyond core structural indexing, this dataset includes long-form portal descriptions (portal_description) for each language. Additionally, each POI maps dynamically back to its ultimate high-level geographic root node via pre-calculated tree-path extractions. This makes it an ideal reference set for cross-lingual semantic search, localized embedding training, natural language processing (NLP) tasks in regional languages, and complex hierarchical classification.

Supported Tasks

• Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval & NLP: Training dense embedding models or semantic search indexers to align multi-lingual text metadata across Greek, Latin, and Cyrillic scripts.
• Machine Translation / Parallel Text Alignment: Leveraging the corresponding long-form poi_description_* fields for domain-specific low-resource language matching or tuning.
• Hierarchical Multiclass Classification: Training classifiers to resolve categorical or spatial distributions based on structural text narratives.

Languages

The schema exposes full localized properties across three target sets:

• Greek (lang_id=1, _el or gr_ prefix)
• English (lang_id=2, _en or en_ prefix)
• Bulgarian (lang_id=4, _bg or bg_ prefix)
