Lombard language corpora suffer from data quality and bias issues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have audited text corpora for the Lombard language, revealing significant issues with data quality and representation. Despite the appearance of abundant web-scraped data, many datasets suffer from misidentification, boilerplate text, and non-linguistic noise. The analysis also highlighted a severe bias towards Western Lombard varieties, marginalizing Eastern ones and indicating a need for community-driven, variety-aware data curation over simple quantity-based scraping.
