Overview

In our increasingly interconnected world, low-resource languages face the threat of oblivion. These linguistic gems, often spoken by marginalized communities, are at risk of fading away due to limited data and resources. The neglect of these languages not only erodes cultural diversity but also hinders effective communication, education, and social inclusion. Academics, practitioners, and policymakers grapple with the urgent need for a comprehensive solution to preserve and empower these vulnerable languages. Empowering Low-Resource Languages With NLP Solutions is a pioneering book that stands as the definitive answer to the pressing problem at hand. It tackles head-on the challenges that low-resource languages face in the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Through real-world case studies, expert insights, and a comprehensive array of topics, this book equips its readers—academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers—with the tools, strategies, and ethical considerations needed to address the crisis facing low-resource languages. This book explores the profound social and cultural implications of NLP for low-resource languages, emphasizing linguistic diversity, preservation, and community empowerment. From tailored knowledge on data collection, pre-processing, and feature extraction to sociolinguistic insights and real-world applications, this book empowers readers to champion the cause of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage preservation.
