Ve'rdd. Narrowing the Gap between Paper Dictionaries, Low-Resource NLP and Community Involvement

We present an open-source online dictionary editing system, Ve'rdd, that offers a chance to re-evaluate and edit grassroots dictionaries that have been exposed to multiple amateur editors. The idea is to incorporate community activities into a state-of-the-art finite-state language description...
