Würzburg glosses extraction

DOI

Allows one to extract grammatical information on glosses from the Würzburg glosses lexicon (Kavanagh 2001).

Usage

Starting from the PDF version of the lexicon, one can use pdf2html.py to convert to HTML (uses PDFMiner), and then cleanhtml.py to remove tags (uses BeautifulSoup).

After preprocessing, run.py allows one to extract grammatical information out of the lexicon.

Web application

This project comes with a small web application (build in Flask) that allows you to run the extraction for a single gloss, in case something went wrong during the automatic phase. The web application can be started by running web.py.
