[Sigwac] CLASSLA web corpora of Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian

[Taja Kuzman]

**

*Dear all, *

*

The CLASSLA Knowledge centre for South Slavic languages 
(https://www.clarin.si/info/k-centre/ 
<https://www.clarin.si/info/k-centre/>) is delighted to announce the 
release of the pilot versions (v0.1) of the CLASSLA web corpora for 
Croatian (2.3 billion words), Serbian (2.4 billion words) and Slovenian 
(1.9 billion words). They are available for querying via the CLARIN.SI 
concordancers (https://www.clarin.si/ske/#open 
<https://www.clarin.si/ske/#open>). The main features of the newly 
released corpora, aside from their large size and recency (crawled in 
2022) is their automatic enrichment with genre information 
(https://huggingface.co/classla/xlm-roberta-base-multilingual-text-genre-classifier 
<https://huggingface.co/classla/xlm-roberta-base-multilingual-text-genre-classifier>) 
and their linguistic processing with the improved CLASSLA-Stanza 
annotation pipeline (https://pypi.org/project/classla/ 
<https://pypi.org/project/classla/>). The pilot versions of these 
corpora are intended to gather valuable user feedback, while the 
official release (v1.0) of the three existing corpora, along with web 
corpora for Bosnian, Montenegrin, Macedonian, and Bulgarian, is 
scheduled for later this year.


We warmly welcome you to explore our corpora and feel free to reach out
