Title Parallel Creation of Gigaword Corpora for Medium Density Languages - an Interim Report
Authors Péter Halácsy, András Kornai, Péter Németh and Dániel Varga
Abstract For increased speed in developing gigaword language resources for medium resource density languages we integrated several FOSS tools in the HUN* toolkit. While the speed and efficiency of the resulting pipeline has surpassed our expectations, our experience in developing LDC-style resource packages for Uzbek and Kurdish makes clear that neither the data collection nor the subsequent processing stages can be fully automated.
