What is Twitter Corpus Building for Swahili about?
The document discusses the creation of a Twitter corpus for the Swahili language using the Twitter-for-Linguists script and langID for language identification. It highlights the challenges faced in accurately identifying Swahili tweets due to insufficient training data and the short length of tweets. An alternative approach for goal-oriented language identification is proposed, focusing on rule-based methods and careful analysis of tweet characteristics.
