Hello,
in a talk at the PyData Berlin meetup I saw this project:
https://github.com/lusy/hora-de-decir-bye-bye , where spanish articles
are scraped and searched for english words. In order to identify english
words she used the dictionaries from Open Office and compared scraped
words to the dictionaries. She mentioned the problem that not all words
were in the dictionaries.
So I thought this could be used to find (or at least help finding) most
missing words in dictionaries for all languages. One could scrape e.g.
all Wikipedia articles of a certain language and create a candidate list
of missing words. Or it could also be used to find domain specific words
by scraping e.g. scientific articles, articles from certain types of
websites and so on.
My question is if this would be something helpful at all or if missing
words in dictionaries is not a problem anymore. Also, I unfortunately
don't have much spare time at the moment to work on this so if anyone
wants to pick this up feel free to do so. I will let you know when I
implemented something myself.
I'm looking forward to your feedback.
Cheers,
Andrej
