However,\nthey have received little attention from the technological perspective. In this\npaper, we review the research, the digital resources and the available NLP\nsystems that focus on these languages. We present the main challenges and\nresearch questions that arise when distant languages and low-resource scenarios\nare faced. We would like to encourage NLP research in linguistically rich and\ndiverse areas like the Americas.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1806.04291v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.04291v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"challenges-of-language-technologies-for-the","repo_url":"https://github.com/pywirrarika/naki","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"GPL-3.0"}}],"tasks":[],"methods":[{"method_slug":null,"method_name":"American"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1806.04291","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
