NDLI: Language resources extracted from Wikipedia

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Vrandecić, Denny Sorg, Philipp Studer, Rudi
Abstract	Wikipedia provides an interesting amount of text for more than hundred languages. This also includes languages where no reference corpora or other linguistic resources are easily available. We have extracted background language models built from the content of Wikipedia in various languages. The models generated from Simple and English Wikipedia are compared to language models derived from other established corpora. The differences between the models in regard to term coverage, term distribution and correlation are described and discussed. We provide access to the full dataset and create visualizations of the language models that can be used exploratory. The paper describes the newly released dataset for 33 languages, and the services that we provide on top of them.
