Vocab extractor for language learners using Stanza and frequency ranks

Hacker News

I'm building a Telegram bot to practice Dutch. GPT-4o-mini kept picking vocabulary words I already knew, so I built a classical NLP pipeline to do it instead. It takes a short text + learner level (A0–B1) and returns the best words to study, using Stanza for parsing and corpus frequency ranks (SUBTLEX-NL, srLex, SUBTLEX-US) for scoring. Wins at A1/A2, loses at A0 where the LLM picks more obvious words. I also tried adding multi-word phrases (ADJ+NOUN, VERB+NOUN, phrasal verbs) backed by NPMI-scored collocation whitelists. Couldn't beat GPT there because it just "knows" which phrases matter. For the phrase work I had to extract collocations from 100M+ OpenSubtitles lines. Published them as a free dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/vladvlasov256/opensubs-collo... There are 43K bigrams across English, Dutch, and Serbian.
