Subject: CLASSLA web corpora of Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian


The CLASSLA Knowledge centre for South Slavic languages
(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). 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-multiling
ual-text-genre-classifier) and their linguistic processing with the
improved CLASSLA-Stanza annotation pipeline
(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 to us at helpdesk.classla at clarin.si with any ideas for
improvements. You are also invited to read our blog post on the use of
CLASSLA web corpora via the open CLARIN.SI concordancers: https://www.

croatian-serbian-and-slovenian-on-clarin-si-concordancers/.

If you are interested in South Slavic resources and technologies, we
also invite you to join the CLASSLA mailing list
