A large web corpus (over 10 billion tokens) licensed under CreativeCommons license family in 50+ languages that has been extracted from CommonCrawl, the largest publicly available general Web crawl to date with about 2 billion crawled URLs.
The package contains Czech recordings of the Visual History Archive which consists of the interviews with the Holocaust survivors. The archive consists of audio recordings, four types of automatic transcripts, manual annotations of selected topics and interviews' metadata. The archive totally contains 353 recordings and 592 hours of interviews.
In the recent years, Transformer-based models have lead to significant advances in language modelling for natural language processing. However, they require a vast amount of data to be (pre-)trained and there is a lack of corpora in languages other than English. Recently, several initiatives have presented multilingual datasets obtained from automatic web crawling. However, the results in Spanish present important shortcomings, as they are either too small in comparison with other languages, or present a low quality derived from sub-optimal cleaning and deduplication. In this paper, we introduce esCorpius, a Spanish crawling corpus obtained from near 1 Pb of Common Crawl data. It is the most extensive corpus in Spanish with this level of quality in the extraction, purification and deduplication of web textual content. Our data curation process involves a novel highly parallel cleaning pipeline and encompasses a series of deduplication mechanisms that together ensure the integrity of both document and paragraph boundaries. Additionally, we maintain both the source web page URL and the WARC shard origin URL in order to complain with EU regulations. esCorpius has been released under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.
The SynSemClass synonym verb lexicon version 5.0 is a multilingual resource that enriches previous editions of this event-type ontology with a new language, Spanish. The existing languages, English, Czech and German, are further substantially extended by a larger number of classes. SSC 5.0 data also contain lists (in a separate removed_cms.zip file) with originally (pre-)proposed but later rejected class members. All languages are organized into classes and have links to other lexical sources. In addition to the existing links, links to Spanish sources have been added.
