Tr-NLP Workshop

Açık Seminer 2020 - Turkish NLP Seminar and Workshop

This repo includes the notebooks and slides for the Turkish Natural Language workshop. The implemented modules are:

• Text preprocessing
• Named Entity Recognition with SpaCy
• Unsupervised text classification with K-Means

Dataset

TWNERTC (Turkish Wikipedia Named-Entity Recognition and Text Categorization Dataset ) by Sahin, et al. is used for Named Entity Recognition. The TWNERTC dataset contains approximately 300K named entities in 77 domains with more than 1000 fine-grained entity types. A subset of the dataset (the astronomy domain) is provided in the repo and the full clean version of the dataset in json format can be downloaded here.
