  6. 4. Natural Language Processing for Low-resourced Code-switched Colloquial Languages – The Case of Algerian Language

    Author : Wafia Adouane; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural language processing; Deep neural networks; Low-resourced language; Colloquial language; Code-switch; Dialectal Arabic; User-generated data; Non-standardised orthography; Algerian language;
