| Challenge: | Parallel corpora are scarce for most of the world's language pairs. |
| Approach: | They propose to extend ParCoLab with a parallel corpus for Alsatian, Corsican, Occitan and Poitevin-Saintongeais. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus contains more than 20k tokens per regional language. |
Empowering Low-Resource Regional Languages with Lexicons : A Comparative Study of NLP Tools for Morphosyntactic Analysis (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a lack of human and financial resources makes integrating lexicon information to low-resource languages challenging. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a bilingual lexicon to integrate lexical information to low-resource language . they compare a lexiconal approach to a neural approach that uses a larger lexicone . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves POS tagging while using different lexicon sizes. |

| Challenge: | Low-resourced regional, non-official or minority languages often face lack of institutional support . low-resource languages often find themselves in a similar situation . |
| Approach: | They propose to create the first treebank for Occitan, a low-resourced regional language . they use an agile annotation approach and rely on pre-processing using existing tools . |
| Outcome: | The proposed treebank is the first for the low-resourced regional language Occitan . the project uses an agile annotation approach and automated pre-annotation . |
