Automated Lexical Data Conversion Framework for Multilingual Digital Repositories

The client faces significant challenges due to disparate, manual, and incompatible workflows for processing lexical data from various sources and formats. This results in slow processing times (ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months per dataset), high operational costs, data loss of up to 20%, and a high error rate, hindering the rapid development of high-quality multilingual language datasets for research and technological innovation.

A large media and language technology organization aiming to build a comprehensive digital language repository for research, NLP, and machine translation applications.

• Reduce lexical data conversion time by at least 10 times to accelerate project delivery.
• Create a flexible, scalable data pipeline capable of handling diverse source formats (structured, unstructured, semi-structured) and multiple languages.
• Achieve a 99% accuracy rate in processed data to ensure high-quality lexical datasets.
• Enable small teams to manage end-to-end data processing workflows independently of language or dataset size.
• Improve data integrity by minimizing data loss and errors during processing.
• Support various target formats and specialized outputs, including XML and graph database formats, tailored to client needs.
• Implement modern big data processing technologies and automation best practices to sustain ongoing growth.
