Open Korean Corpora: A Practical Report
This work aims to improve resource availability and promote research for less-resourced languages like Korean by providing a curated list of open corpora.
This paper addresses the perception of Korean as a low-resource language by curating and reviewing existing open Korean corpora. It describes institution-level resource development and lists current open datasets for various tasks.
Korean is often referred to as a low-resource language in the research community. While this claim is partially true, it is also because the availability of resources is inadequately advertised and curated. This work curates and reviews a list of Korean corpora, first describing institution-level resource development, then further iterate through a list of current open datasets for different types of tasks. We then propose a direction on how open-source dataset construction and releases should be done for less-resourced languages to promote research.
