Hi!

I’m Alan Feder / @AlanFeder (twitter & Github) based in the US, but I spent some time in Israel previously – just getting my feet wet in NLP in general, but excited about exploring it in a Hebrew context.

Hi all! I’m Alex Lavin (@alavin here). I specialize in medical machine learning, and as Cofounder & CTO at Causalis I’m currently working on a project with several Israeli hospitals. If NLP on Hebrew+English EHR data is up your alley I’d love to chat: lavin@causalis.ai or linkedin.

Hello (in 2023),

I am a new oleh, looking for some tools to help me learn Hebrew. Even as I had a software career, I realize my quest may not be exactly in the right space, but I will ask my question anyway.

I have built a Neo4j database containing shoreshim, binyanim, Hebrew verbs, nouns, adjectives, English translations, etc. One requirement is that all words have a shoresh. I am looking for a service, or an algorithm (Python?) to provide/extract the shoresh from any word.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Hi. My name is Daniel, and I am looking for the right NLP library for Biblical Hebrew.

We have a project (links below):

TorahBibleCodes

We have all the words separated into “tokens”(?). I am looking to process this word and letter data further by leveraging current NLP libraries (if they work for Hebrew) and then develop custom functionalities.

What do you recommend?

Contributors welcome.

Thank you very much.

kindest regards,

Daniel Azariah
