Create an NLP Dictionary for Spanish

Find out about the HPCC Systems Summer Internship Program.

Project Description

In order to eventually create digital human readers in Spanish, a dictionary must be established. This project will use the Spanish dictionary from Wiktionary. One interesting aspect of this project are the verbs in Spanish which have a rich morphology.

If you are interested in this project, please contact David Dehilster.

Completion of this project involves:

• Download the Spanish dictionary from wiktionary
• Write an NLP++ parser to extract the vocabulary from the wiktionary files into text files
• Write an NLP++ parser to transform the text files into knowledge base files
• Create Spanish test files for part-of-speech tagging
• Write an NLP++ part-of-speech tagger
• Run the tests using the NLP++ Plugin in ECL to show enhancements
• Create an NLP++ repository for the Spanish dictionary and analyzers

By the mid term review we would expect you to have:
