Building comprehensive text collections and language databases for Kurdish NLP research
Corpus development for Kurdish language involves creating large-scale, annotated text collections that serve as the foundation for various natural language processing applications and linguistic research.
This project focuses on building comprehensive corpora that represent different Kurdish dialects, genres, and domains, providing essential resources for computational linguistics research.
The research involves systematic collection of Kurdish texts from various sources including literature, news, social media, and academic publications, ensuring balanced representation across domains.
Fanar is leading the corpus annotation efforts, developing standardized guidelines for linguistic markup and quality assurance protocols.
These corpora will enable advanced Kurdish NLP applications including machine translation, information retrieval, and language modeling, significantly advancing Kurdish computational linguistics.
The developed corpora will be made available to the research community, fostering collaborative development of Kurdish language technologies.
