6. Language Technology Implementation

Now that you have developed a general understanding of language technology and identified your use case, it's time to start building! This chapter will help you locate where your use-case stands in the language technology landscape and how to navigate towards a working solution. We have developed a comprehensive workflow that will help us get a high-level view and then dive into it bit by bit.

This chapter assumes technical familiarity with Natural Language Processing tools, data and model development.

This chapter is organized as follows:

• Section 6.1 delves into our language technology development workflow to gain a high-level comprehension of the key aspects involved in language technology implementation.

• Section 6.2 centers on the necessity of a language-specific analysis for creating language tools and outlines the process of creating a language-specific peculiarities (LSP) document.

• Section 6.3 curates a compilation of notable open data resources and provides examples of conducting a data search.

• Section 6.4 introduces methodologies for conducting initial assessments of models and data.

• Section 6.5 elaborates on the essential metrics vital for evaluating the efficacy and success of a language solution.
