In the context of the WebData project, we will get access to the National Library's web archive. One goal of the project is to identify parallel content that is available both in a Sámi language and in Norwegian. This task is known as bitext extraction. The goal of the thesis is to obtain an overview of the most recent bitext extraction techniques, evaluate language identification tools for the different Sámi languages, and compare the extracted bitexts with existing collections of monolingual and parallel Sámi data.
The thesis may also investigate different use cases of the extracted bitexts, e.g. for improving machine translation, cross-lingual transfer or terminology extraction.
