A Large Scale Nepali Text Corpus

Considering the ongoing works in Natural Language Processing (NLP) with the Nepali language, it is evident that the use of Artificial Intelligence and NLP on this Devanagari script has still a long way to go. The Nepali language is complex in itself and requires multi-dimensional approaches for pre-processing the unstructured text and training the machines to comprehend the language competently. There seemed a need for a comprehensive Nepali language text corpus containing texts from domains such as News, Finance, Sports, Entertainment, Health, Literature, Technology.
