Open Space

GlossAPI is an open‑source Python library and technical infrastructure to create, curate, and publish AI‑ready Greek datasets. At our Open Space stand, we’ll showcase documented datasets hosted on Hugging Face and the reproducible preprocessing workflows that produce them. Visitors will see how academics, students, and practitioners can contribute new corpora or reuse existing data in Natural Language Processing (NLP, Natural Language Processing) and Large Language Models (LLM, Large Language Models) applications. We’ll run short offline demos, share dataset cards, and provide links to repositories (Hugging Face / GitHub) and a collaboration form.

Focus: transparent pipelines, licensing clarity, and practical reusability—lowering friction for those building or evaluating Greek AI.

Goal: grow a community around open standards and rigorous documentation so Greek‑language AI becomes more accessible, ethical, and reproducible.
