Wiktionary Data on Hugging Face Datasets

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

• German
• Latin
• Ancient Greek
• Old Persian

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")

The available splits are

• German
• Latin
• AncientGreek
• OldPersian

In addition, a separate split for graph data is offered:

• GraphData

This split contains all the languages and puts everything in a giant graph

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.
