- Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)
As research assistant at UMD/JHU I work on various projects focused on bilingual and monolingual translation, machine translation, crowd-sourced translation and natural language processing. Wikipedia projects are one of the essential tools providing access to hundreds of languages and hundreds of thousands of articles ready for unlimited access and use in language research.
But manipulating such large amount of data in different languages is not always a simple task.
In this workshop/tutorial I want to cover following topics:
- Wikipedia API
- Processing Wikipedia articles using Python
- Parsing and extracting sentences/words out of Wikipedia articles
- Working with 100+ languages in unified fashion
- Tips and tricks
As one of the outcomes of this talk, I want to gather requirements from other people using Wikipedia for language research to build a better tools and libraries that language research community can use.
