At kielipankki.fi/future/mink, a browser-based tool called Mink is available, where users logged in via Haka can upload their own text materials for processing. The file formats supported by Mink include plain text (UTF-8), XML (where the analysis pipeline preserves the structures), Microsoft Word (.docx), Open Document (.odt), PDF, and CoNLL-U.
You can perform advanced searches on your own text corpora within the Korp environment, which is accessible through the Mink service. If necessary, texts can first be automatically parsed and annotated in Mink, which improves Korp’s search capabilities. For now, the Mink platform supports lemmatization (i.e., the reduction of words to their base forms) as well as morphological and dependency-based syntactic analysis for Finnish, Swedish, and English text, and the recognition of named phrases in English text. In addition to Korp, you can also save the results of the analysis to your own computer.
With Mink, users can prepare, test, and explore their own Korp corpus. For now, only the user themselves can access the materials they have transferred to the Mink’s Korp environment. However, separate arrangements may be made to make the corpus available to other researchers through the Language Bank’s shared Korp service. At a later stage, the plan is to make it possible to share the data stored in Mink, for example, with members of one’s own research group.
For now, more detailed instructions on how to use Mink can be found on the Swedish Språkbanken website. Please note that the Mink environment developed by Språkbanken has been slightly adapted for users of the Finnish Kielipankki, so not all features may work in exactly the same way in both Mink services.
The Mink platform is currently being further developed, and the Language Bank welcomes feedback on its functionality; see contact information.
