Macedonian web corpus MaCoCu-mk 2.0

The Macedonian web corpus MaCoCu-mk 2.0 was built by crawling the ".mk" and ".мкд" internet top-level domains in 2021, extending the crawl dynamically to other domains as well. The crawler is available at https://github.com/macocu/MaCoCu-crawler. Considerable effort was devoted into cleaning the extracted text to provide a high-quality web corpus. This was achieved by removing boilerplate (https://corpus.tools/wiki/Justext) and near-duplicated paragraphs (https://corpus.tools/wiki/Onion), discarding very short texts as well as texts that are not in the target language. The dataset is characterized by extensive metadata which allows filtering the dataset based on text quality and other criteria (https://github.com/bitextor/monotextor), making the corpus highly useful for corpus linguistics studies, as well as for training language models and other language technologies. In XML format, each document is accompanied by the following metadata: title, crawl date, url, domain, file type of the original document, distribution of languages inside the document, and a fluency score based on a language model. The text of each document is divided into paragraphs that are accompanied by metadata on the information whether a paragraph is a heading or not, metadata on the paragraph quality (labels, such as “short” or “good”, assigned based on paragraph length, URL and stopword density via the jusText tool - https://corpus.tools/wiki/Justext) and fluency (score between 0 and 1, assigned with the Monocleaner tool - https://github.com/bitextor/monocleaner), the automatically identified language of the text in the paragraph, and information whether the paragraph contains sensitive information (identified via the Biroamer tool - https://github.com/bitextor/biroamer). As opposed to the previous version, this version has more accurate metadata on languages of the texts, which was achieved by using Google's Compact Language Detector 2 (CLD2) (https://github.com/CLD2Owners/cld2), a high-performance language detector supporting many languages. Other tools, used for web corpora creation and curation, have been updated as well, resulting in an even cleaner, as well as larger corpus. The corpus can be easily read with the prevert parser (https://pypi.org/project/prevert/).

Corpus of longer narrative Slovenian prose KDSP 1.0

The KDSP corpus contains 262 texts of longer older Slovenian narrative prose. The texts were published between 1836 and 1918 and are at least 20,000 words long. The texts have bibliographical metadata (author name, title, year of publication, length) and are classified according to the decade of publication, length, text type, text subtype, theme, and level of canonicity (texts by those authors included in school textbooks after 1980 and/or included in the Collected writings of Slovenian poets and writers, are marked with a high degree of canonicity). The metadata about the authors of the texts are provided with their gender, occupation, and years of birth and death. The corpus texts come from three digital sources, and each text is marked for its source. They are Wikisource (https://sl.wikisource.org/wiki/, 145 texts), the ELTeC corpus (https://github.com/COST-ELTeC/ELTeC-slv, 96 texts), and the dLib digital library (https://www.dlib.si/, 21 texts). The corpus is provided in two variants, one containing running text and the other with added linguistic analyses. These comprise tokens, sentences, lemmas, MULTEXT-East morphosytactic descriptions and Universal Dependencies morphological features. The linguistic annotation was performed with the CLASSLA program (https://github.com/clarinsi/classla). The source format of the corpus in TEI/XML, with two derived formats also available: one is plain text, and the other vertical files, as used by the CWB and (no)Sketch Engine concordancers

PyTorch model for Slovenian Named Entity Recognition SloNER 1.0

The SloNER is a model for Slovenian Named Entity Recognition. It is is a PyTorch neural network model, intended for usage with the HuggingFace transformers library (https://github.com/huggingface/transformers). The model is based on the Slovenian RoBERTa contextual embeddings model SloBERTa 2.0 (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1397). The model was trained on the SUK 1.0 training corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1747).The source code of the model is available on GitHub repository https://github.com/clarinsi/SloNER

The CLASSLA-Stanza model for morphosyntactic annotation of standard Slovenian 2.0

This model for morphosyntactic annotation of standard Slovenian was built with the CLASSLA-Stanza tool (https://github.com/clarinsi/classla) by training on the SUK training corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1747) and using the CLARIN.SI-embed.sl word embeddings (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1204) that were expanded with the MaCoCu-sl Slovene web corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1517). The model produces simultaneously UPOS, FEATS and XPOS (MULTEXT-East) labels. The estimated F1 of the XPOS annotations is ~98.27. The difference to the previous version of the model is that the model was trained using the SUK training corpus and uses new embeddings and the new version of the Slovene morphological lexicon Sloleks 3.0 (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1745)

Q-CAT Corpus Annotation Tool 1.5

The Q-CAT (Querying-Supported Corpus Annotation Tool) is a tool for manual linguistic annotation of corpora, which also enables advanced queries on top of these annotations. The tool has been used in various annotation campaigns related to the ssj500k reference training corpus of Slovenian (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1210), such as named entities, dependency syntax, semantic roles and multi-word expressions, but it can also be used for adding new annotation layers of various types to this or other language corpora. Q-CAT is a .NET application, which runs on Windows operating system. Version 1.1 enables the automatic attribution of token IDs and personalized font adjustments. Version 1.2 supports the CONLL-U format and working with UD POS tags. Version 1.3 supports adding new layers of annotation on top of CONLL-U (and then saving the corpus as XML TEI). Version 1.4 introduces new features in command line mode (filtering by sentence ID, multiple link type visualizations) Version 1.5 supports listening to audio recordings (provided in the # sound_url comment line in CONLL-U

Icelandic-English parallel corpus MaCoCu-is-en 2.0

The Icelandic-English parallel corpus MaCoCu-is-en 2.0 was built by crawling the “.is” internet top-level domain in 2021, extending the crawl dynamically to other domains as well. All the crawling process was carried out by the MaCoCu crawler (https://github.com/macocu/MaCoCu-crawler). Websites containing documents in both target languages were identified and processed using the tool Bitextor (https://github.com/bitextor/bitextor). Considerable effort was devoted into cleaning the extracted text to provide a high-quality parallel corpus. This was achieved by removing boilerplate and near-duplicated paragraphs and documents that are not in one of the targeted languages. Document and segment alignment as implemented in Bitextor were carried out, and Bifixer (https://github.com/bitextor/bifixer) and BicleanerAI (https://github.com/bitextor/bicleaner-ai) were used for fixing, cleaning, and deduplicating the final version of the corpus. The corpus is available in three formats: two sentence-level formats, TXT and TMX, and a document-level TXT format. TMX is an XML-based format and TXT is a tab-separated format. They both consist of pairs of source and target segments (one or several sentences) and additional metadata. The following metadata is included in both sentence-level formats: - source and target document URL; - paragraph ID which includes information on the position of the sentence in the paragraph and in the document (e.g., “p35:77s1/3” which means “paragraph 35 out of 77, sentence 1 out of 3”); - quality score as provided by the tool Bicleaner AI (a likelihood of a pair of sentences being mutual translations, provided with a score between 0 and 1); - similarity score as provided by the sentence alignment tool Bleualign (value between 0 and 1); - personal information identification (“biroamer-entities-detected”): segments containing personal information are flagged, so final users of the corpus can decide whether to use these segments; - translation direction and machine translation identification (“translation-direction”): the source segment in each segment pair was identified by using a probabilistic model (https://github.com/RikVN/TranslationDirection), which also determines if the translation has been produced by a machine-translation system; - a DSI class (“dsi”): information whether the segment is connected to any of Digital Service Infrastructure (DSI) classes (e.g., cybersecurity, e-health, e-justice, open-data-portal), defined by the Connecting Europe Facility (https://github.com/RikVN/DSI); - English language variant: the language variant of English (British or American, using a lexicon-based English variety classifier - https://pypi.org/project/abclf/) was identified on document and domain level. Furthermore, the sentence-level TXT format provides additional metadata: - web domain of the text; - source and target document title; - the date when the original file was retrieved; - the original type of the file (e.g., “html”), from which the sentence was extracted; - paragraph quality (labels, such as “short” or “good”, assigned based on paragraph length, URL and stopword density via the jusText tool - https://corpus.tools/wiki/Justext); - information whether the sentence is a heading or not in the original document. The document-level TXT format provides pairs of documents identified to contain parallel data. In addition to the parallel documents (in base64 format), the corpus includes the following metadata: source and target document URL, a DSI category and the English language variant (British or American). As opposed to the previous version, this version has more accurate metadata on languages of the texts, which was achieved by using Google's Compact Language Detector 2 (CLD2) (https://github.com/CLD2Owners/cld2), a high-performance language detector supporting many languages. Other tools, used for web corpora creation and curation, have been updated as well, resulting in an even cleaner corpus. The new version also provides additional metadata, such as the position of the sentence in the paragraph and document, and information whether the sentence is related to a DSI. Moreover, the corpus is now also provided in a document-level format.

Corpus of textbooks for learning Slovenian as L2 ccKUUS 2.0

The ccKUUS 2.0 corpus consists of a set of two textbooks and two workbooks for learning Slovenian as a second and foreign language, aimed at adolescents. Published by the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language (Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana), these textbooks and workbooks were the most frequently used teaching materials for teaching Slovenian as a second and foreign language to adolescents in Slovenia and abroad at the time of the corpus creation. The metadata for each text includes its title, subtitle, authors, year of publication, publisher, CEFR level, target group and, for the textbooks, the number of estimated hours of the lessons. The ccKUUS 2.0 corpus is subset of the KUUS 2.0 corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1877) which is released under the Creative Commons licence and contains approximately 10% of the complete KUUS 2.0 corpus

Croatian Twitter training corpus ReLDI-NormTagNER-hr 3.0

ReLDI-NormTagNER-hr 3.0 is a manually annotated corpus of Croatian tweets. It is meant as a gold-standard training and testing dataset for tokenisation, sentence segmentation, word normalisation, morphosyntactic tagging, lemmatisation and named entity recognition of non-standard Croatian. Each tweet is also annotated for its automatically assigned standardness levels (T = technical standardness, L = linguistic standardness). This version of the dataset has various annotation errors corrected and the dataset encoded in the CoNLL-U-Plus format, similar to other manually annotated linguistic datasets for Croatian and Serbian. The continuous improvement of this dataset is led by the CLASSLA knowledge centre for South Slavic languages (https://www.clarin.si/info/k-centre/) and the ReLDI Centre Belgrade (https://reldi.spur.uzh.ch)
