This paper introduces the BootCaT toolkit, a suite of perl programs implementing an iterative procedure to bootstrap specialized corpora and terms from the web. [] Key Method The seeds are used to build a corpus via automated Google queries, and more terms are extracted from this corpus. In turn, these new terms are used as seeds to build a larger corpus via automated queries, and so forth. The corpus and the unigram terms are then used to extract multi-word terms. We conducted an evaluation of the tools by…

CorpoMate: A framework for building linguistic corpora from the web

CorpoMate is introduced, an extensible framework with a pipeline-inspired and modular architecture for automating the creation of linguistic corpora, from web resources via crawling websites or parsing feeds and, can export aggregated data into widely-accepted formats.

Building Large Corpora from the Web Using a New Efficient Tool Chain

A software toolkit for web corpus construction and a set of siginificantly larger corpora built using this software, which performs basic cleanups as well as boilerplate removal, simple connected text detection aswell as shingling to remove duplicates from the corpora.

WebBootCaT: a Web Tool for Instant Corpora

A web service for quickly producing corpora for specialist areas, in any of a range of languages, from the web, which is easy for non-technical people to use as all they need do is fill in a web form.

Open-source Corpora: Using the net to fish for linguistic data

Experiments with a variety of languages show that Internet-derived corpora can be successfully used in the absence of large representative corpora that are rare and expensive to build.

Exploiting the Internet to build language resources for less resourced languages

A general view of the El yar Foundation’s strategy to build several types of language resources for Basque out of the web in a cost-efficient way is presented, which is very interesting and attractive for less resourced languages too, provided they have enough presence on the web.

Automatic parallel corpora and bilingual terminology extraction from parallel WebSites

GWB is a web-spider that works in conjunction with a set of other Open-Source tools, defining a pipeline that includes the documents retrieval from the web, alignment at sentence level and its quality analysis, bilingual dictionaries and terminology extraction and construction of off-line dictionaries.

Common Crawled Web Corpora: Constructing corpora from large amounts of web data

This thesis develops a new very large English corpus with more than 135 billion tokens and evaluates the corpus by training word embeddings and shows that the trained model largely outperforms models trained on other corpora in a word analogy and word similarity task.
