In this article we present the construction of 12 million-pages Web corpus (over 10 billion tokens) licensed under CreativeCommons license family in 50+ languages that has been extracted from CommonCrawl, the largest publicly available general Web crawl to date with about 2 billion crawled URLs. Our highly-scalable Hadoop-based framework is able to process the full CommonCrawl corpus on 2000+ CPU cluster on the Amazon Elastic Map/Reduce infrastructure. The processing pipeline includes license identification, state-of-the-art boilerplate removal, exact duplicate and near-duplicate document removal, and language detection.

Roland Schäfer – Freie Universität Berlin, Germany | CommonCOW: Massively Huge Web Corpora from CommonCrawl Data and a Method to Distribute them Freely under Restrictive EU Copyright Laws | http://rolandschaefer.net/?p=994 | papers | 20160101Z00:00:00 | null | In this paper, I describe a method of creating massively huge web corpora from the CommonCrawl data sets and redistributing the resulting annotations in a stand-off format. Current EU (and especially German) copyright legislation categorically forbids the redistribution of downloaded material without express prior permission by the authors. Therefore, stand-off annotations or other derivates are the only format in which European researchers (like myself) are allowed to re-distribute the respective corpora. In order to make the full corpora available to the public despite such restrictions, the stand-off format presented here allows anybody to locally reconstruct the full corpora with the least possible computational effort. | Freie Universität Berlin, Germany | nlp/corpus-construction, legal/copyright | null | null | {CommonCOW} | null | null |
Roland Schäfer – Freie Universität Berlin, Germany | Accurate and Efficient General-purpose Boilerplate Detection for Crawled Web Corpora | https://doi.org/10.1007/s10579-016-9359-2 | papers | 20170101Z00:00:00 | Boilerplate, Corpus construction, Non-destructive corpus normalization, Web corpora | Removal of boilerplate is one of the essential tasks in web corpus construction and web indexing. Boilerplate (redundant and automatically inserted material like menus, copyright notices, navigational elements, etc.) is usually considered to be linguistically unattractive for inclusion in a web corpus. Also, search engines should not index such material because it can lead to spurious results for search terms if these terms appear in boilerplate regions of the web page. The size of large web corpora necessitates the use of efficient algorithms while a high accuracy directly improves the quality of the final corpus. In this paper, I present and evaluate a supervised machine learning approach to general-purpose boilerplate detection for languages based on Latin alphabets which is both very efficient and very accurate. Using a Multilayer Perceptron and a high number of carefully engineered features, I achieve between 95\% and 99\% correct classifications (depending on the input language) with precision and recall over 0.95. Since the perceptrons are trained on language-specific data, I also evaluate how well perceptrons trained on one language perform on other languages. The single features are also evaluated for the merit they contribute to the classification. I show that the accuracy of the Multilayer Perceptron is on a par with that of other classifiers such as Support Vector Machines. I conclude that the quality of general-purpose boilerplate detectors depends mainly on the availability of many well-engineered features and which are highly language-independent. The method has been implemented in the open-source texrex web page cleaning software, and large corpora constructed using it are available from the COW initiative, including the CommonCOW corpora created from CommonCrawl data sets. | Freie Universität Berlin, Germany | nlp/boilerplate-removal, nlp/web-as-corpus, nlp/corpus-construction | null | null | null | null | null |

It is collected from a number of independent crawls from 2008 to 2017, and totals petabytes in size. We used cld2³ as the language detection engine because of its speed, available Python bindings and large coverage of languages. Language detection was carried out on the first 1024 bytes of each plaintext document. Deduplication was carried out using hashed document URLs, a simple strategy found in our tests to be effective for coarse duplicate removal. The data for each language was capped at 100,000 tokens per a single input file. | null | conll-2017-shared-task | null | null |

The dump contains more than 3.14 billion web pages and about 250 Terabytes of uncompressed content. [...] We used WET files as we were only interested in plain text for building the distributed word representation models. Due to the size of the dump, which requires massive processing power and time for handling, we only used 30\% of the data contained in it. As this subset comprises about one billion web pages (written in multiple language), we believed that it was large enough to provide sufficient Arabic Web pages from which we can build a representative word embeddings model. Here it is important to note that the Common Crawl project does not provide any technique for identifying or selecting the language of web pages to download. So, we had to download data first, and then discard pages that were not written in Arabic. The Arabic detection phase was performed using some regex commands and some NLP techniques to distinguish Arabic from other languages. After the completion of this phase we succeeded in obtaining 4,379,697 Arabic web pages which were then segmented into more than 180,000,000 paragraphs/documents for building our models. | null | null | null | null |

Eastman desired a system that provides insight into the current chemical landscape. Information about trends and sentiment towards chemicals over time is beneficial to their marketing and strategy departments. They wanted to be able to drill down to a particular time period and look at what people were writing about certain keywords.

It contains archived HTML web page data from 2008 to date. Common Crawl has been widely used for text mining purposes. Using data extracted from Common Crawl has several advantages over a direct crawl of web data, among which is removing the likelihood of a user’s home IP address becoming blacklisted for accessing a given web site too frequently. However, Common Crawl is a data sample, and so questions arise about the quality of Common Crawl as a representative sample of the original data. We perform systematic tests on the similarity of topics estimated from Common Crawl compared to topics estimated from the full data of online forums. Our target is online discussions from a user forum for automotive enthusiasts, but our research strategy can be applied to other domains and samples to evaluate the representativeness of topic models. We show that topic proportions estimated from Common Crawl are not significantly different than those estimated on the full data. We also show that topics are similar in terms of their word compositions, and not worse than topic similarity estimated under true random sampling, which we simulate through a series of experiments. Our research will be of interest to analysts who wish to use Common Crawl to study topics of interest in user forum data, and analysts applying topic models to other data samples. | null | null | null | null |

We believe that there still exists a non-negligible amount of parallel data spread across sources not satisfying this assumption. We propose an approach based on a combination of bivec (a bilingual extension of word2vec) and locality-sensitive hashing which allows us to efficiently identify pairs of parallel segments located anywhere on pages of a given web domain, regardless their structure. We validate our method on realigning segments from a large parallel corpus.

As a consequence, emotionally dissimilar words, such as “happy” and “sad” occurring in similar contexts would purport more similar meaning than emotionally similar words, such as “happy” and “joy”. This complication leads to rather undesirable outcome in predictive tasks that relate to affect (emotional state), such as emotion classification and emotion similarity. In order to address this limitation, we propose a novel method of obtaining emotion-enriched word representations, which projects emotionally similar words into neighboring spaces and emotionally dissimilar ones far apart. The proposed approach leverages distant supervision to automatically obtain a large training dataset of text documents and two recurrent neural network architectures for learning the emotion-enriched representations. Through extensive evaluation on two tasks, including emotion classification and emotion similarity, we demonstrate that the proposed representations outperform several competitive general-purpose and affective word representations. | York University, Toronto, Canada | nlp/word-embeddings, nlp/emotion-detection, nlp/sentiment-analysis | null | null | null | GloVe-word-embeddings | null |

These questions intimate the role of interactive visualization in the real (online) world. In this paper, we present our approach (and findings) to answering these questions. First, we introduce Beagle, which mines the web for SVG-based visualizations and automatically classifies them by type (i.e., bar, pie, etc.). With Beagle, we extract over 41,000 visualizations across five different tools and repositories, and classify them with 85\% accuracy, across 24 visualization types. Given this visualization collection, we study usage across tools. We find that most visualizations fall under four types: bar charts, line charts, scatter charts, and geographic maps. Though controversial, pie charts are relatively rare for the visualization tools that were studied. Our findings also suggest that the total visualization types supported by a given tool could factor into its ease of use. However this effect appears to be mitigated by providing a variety of diverse expert visualization examples to users. | University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA; Tufts University, Medford, MA, USA | web-science, web-crawling | As found with other web crawling projects, such as the Common Crawl¹, our web crawls represent a specific point in time for the websites [...] | null | null | null | null |

Therefore, we construct theoretical networks of webpages representing the hyper-linked structure of articles of seven Wikipedia language editions. These seven networks are analyzed to extract the most influential painters in each edition using Google matrix theory. Importance of webpages of over 3000 painters is measured using the PageRank algorithm. The most influential painters are enlisted and their ties are studied with the reduced Google matrix analysis. The reduced Google matrix is a powerful method that captures both direct and hidden interactions between a subset of selected nodes taking into account the indirect links between these nodes via the remaining part of large global network. This method originates from the scattering theory of nuclear and mesoscopic physics and field of quantum chaos. In this paper, we show that it is possible to extract from the components of the reduced Google matrix meaningful information on the ties between these painters. For instance, our analysis groups together painters that belong to the same painting movement and shows meaningful ties between painters of different movements. We also determine the influence of painters on world countries using link sensitivity between Wikipedia articles of painters and countries. The reduced Google matrix approach allows to obtain a balanced view of various cultural opinions of Wikipedia language editions. The world countries with the largest number of top painters of selected seven Wikipedia editions are found to be Italy, France, and Russia. We argue that this approach gives meaningful information about art and that it could be a part of extensive network analysis on human knowledge and cultures. | Université de Toulouse, France | web-science/hyperlinkgraph, graph-processing, cc-cited-not-used | null | null | null | null | null |

Both organisations provide vital services to researchers, and both innovate in areas that would traditionally fall under the deposit libraries’ purview. They support their mission by exploring the boundaries of copyright, including exceptions for non-commercial text and data mining (Intellectual Property Office, 2014). This contrast between risk-enabled independent organisations and deposit libraries, described by interviewees as risk averse, challenges library/DH collaboration models such as BL Labs (http://labs.bl.uk) and Library of Congress Labs (https://labs.loc.gov). | null | null | null | null |

Edouard Grave, Piotr Bojanowski, Prakhar Gupta, Armand Joulin, Tomas Mikolov – Facebook AI Research; École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne EPFL, Switzerland | Learning word vectors for 157 languages | https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/L18-1550 | papers | 20180101Z00:00:00 | null | Distributed word representations, or word vectors, have recently been applied to many tasks in natural language processing, leading to state-of-the-art performance. A key ingredient to the successful application of these representations is to train t hem on very large corpora, and use these pre-trained models in downstream tasks. In this paper, we describe how we trained such high qualit y word representations for 157 languages. We used two sources of data to train these models: the free online encyclopedia Wikip edia and data from the common crawl project. We also introduce three new word analogy datasets to evaluate these word vectors, for Fren ch, Hindi and Polish. Finally, we evaluate our pre-trained word vectors on 10 languages for which evaluation datasets exists, sho wing very strong performance compared to previous models. | Facebook AI Research; École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne EPFL, Switzerland | nlp/word-embeddings | The common crawl is a non profit organization which crawls the web and makes the resulting data publicly available. This large scale corpus was previously used to estimate n-gram language models (Buck et al., 2014) or to learn English word vectors (Pennington et al., 2014). To the best of our knowledge, it was not used yet to learn word vectors for a large set of languages. The data is distributed either as raw HTML pages, or as WET files which contain the extracted text data, converted to UTF-8. We decided to use the extracted text data, as it is much smaller in size, and easier to process (no need to remove HTML). We downloaded the May 2017 crawl, corresponding to roughly 24 terabytes of raw text data. | CC-MAIN-2017-22 (WET) | fastText-word-embeddings | null | null |
