question on https://nlp.h-its.org

[jwijffels]

Hi,

Now that issue https://github.com/bheinzerling/bpemb/issues/34 is sorted out. For the R wrapper of sentencepiece at https://github.com/bnosac/sentencepiece, I'm planning to implement a simple wrapper to download the models you have been providing and next put the package on CRAN. Before I do this, I would like to know the intention of that site: https://nlp.h-its.org Namely

• Who maintains that site
• Will that site persist over time
• Any objections in redistributing these sentencepiece models and glove embeddings? Either license-wise or other.

Thanks for any input.

Hi again,

I'm responsible for https://nlp.h-its.org/bpemb and it's intended to stay available indefinitely. There are no objections to redistribution or downloading. In fact, BPEmb is already being redistributed or wrapped in some other projects, e.g. by Wolfram and in flair.

Thanks for the input. So the license for the sentencepiece models and the Glove embeddings is the same MIT license as the one shown at https://github.com/bheinzerling/bpemb/blob/master/LICENSE?

[bheinzerling]

yes!
