Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Thanks for joining us as we began our project to create contextually rich local language resources. Stay tuned for our year-end wrap-up and more updates in 2022!

Happy Friday! Here's a quick update on the team's data collection efforts so far—with over four million unique tokens found!

Not only do we lack local language resources but we also importantly lack the means to continuously update our sources as language use evolves. Check out the story below to learn how building a context-aware digital lexicon can help plug these gaps. filwordnet.dlsu.edu.ph/in-focus/digit…

📢 Call for participants! The team is building an automated tool to detect word meanings in sentences. We need your help to annotate our training #data. Support our #research by signing up here: bit.ly/FilWordNet-Vol… Please send us a message or email for any concerns!

Dr. Charibeth Cheng talks to The LaSallian about FilWordNet, the broader landscape of natural language processing, and the challenges in developing Philippine language models and technologies.

FilWordNet has been featured in the latest issue of Questions, the magazine of DLSU! Check out the article on page 39 (page 21 on the double spread): dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/upl…

Nagamit mo na ba ang "awit" para magpahayag ng kasakitan o pagkabigo? Kung kanta ang kahulugan nito dati, sa kasalukuyan naman ay mas madalas nang gamitin ang "awit" bilang isang ekspresyon o pandamdam. Tignan ang ebolusyon ng salitang ito sa grap! #BuwanngWika

Hindi lang temperatura o panahon ang tinutukoy ng "malamig" at "mainit", kundi gingamit din ang mga salitang ito sa isports! Inilalarawan nila ang kalidad ng laro ng atleta o koponan, at ayon sa nakolekta naming mga datos, mas madalas silang ginagamit sa balita kaysa sa Twitter.

Nalimutan namin i-post ito nang mas maaga... char! Kayo ba, alin sa mga sumusunod na ekspresyon ang paborito niyong sabihin kapag kayo'y nagbibiro? Makikita sa grap na mas madalas ginagamit ang "char" at "chz" batay sa datos na nakolekta namin mula sa Twitter. #BuwanngWika

Para sa ating huling post ngayong #BuwanngWika, tignan natin ang kaibahang paggamit ng marites at chika na natuklasan sa aming pananaliksik. Sana'y may natutunan kayo mula sa ating kampanya ngayon at mas nabigyan natin ng halaga ang ating lokal na lenggwahe!
