A working group from the Association of Indigenous Small- Numbered Peoples of Chukotka has compiled an Eskimo-language corpus as part of a project to build an AI-powered Russian-Eskimo translator. The work was announced by the press service of the Association of Indigenous Small- Numbered Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East.
The corpus holds 104,000 parallel texts. So far, the first portion – 51,000 of them – has been verified and edited, and forwarded to the House of Peoples of Russia for integration into Yandex Translate.
The remaining 53,000 texts are still being checked, with the work expected to be finished by the end of the year.
