Wiktionary Data on Hugging Face Datasets

wiktionary-data is a sub-data extraction of the English Wiktionary that currently supports the following languages:

Deutsch - German
Latinum - Latin
Ἑλληνική - Ancient Greek
한국어 - Korean
𐎠𐎼𐎹 - Old Persian
𒀝𒅗𒁺𒌑(𒌝) - Akkadian
संस्कृतम् - Sanskrit, or Classical Sanskrit

wiktionary-data was originally a sub-module of wilhelm-graphdb. While the dataset it's getting bigger, I noticed a wave of more exciting potentials this dataset can bring about that stretches beyond the scope of the containing project. Therefore I decided to promote it to a dedicated module; and here comes this repo.

The Wiktionary language data is available on 🤗 Hugging Face Datasets.

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("QubitPi/wiktionary-data", split="German")

There are two data subsets:

Languages subset that contains the sub-data extraction of the following splits:
- German
- Latin
- AncientGreek
- Korean
- OldPersian
- Akkadian
- Sanskrit
Graph subset that is useful for constructing knowledge graphs:
- AllLanguage: all the languages in a giant graph
The Graph data ontology is the following:

Two words are structurally similar if and only if the two shares the same
stem

Development

Although the original Wiktionary dump is available, parsing it from scratch involves rather complicated process. We would probably do it in the future. At present, however, we would simply take the awesome works by tatuylonen which has already processed it and presented it in in JSON format. wiktionary-data takes the raw Wiktextract data (JSONL, one object per line) option.
