In this project, we introduce a set of approaches to building a n-gram corpus from the Wikipedia monthly XML dumps. We then apply these to build a 1 to 5-g corpus data set, which we then describe in detail, explaining its benefits as a supplement to larger n-gram corpora like Google Web 1T 5-g corpus. We analyze our algorithms and discuss efficiency in terms of space and time. The dataset is publicly available at www.unlv.edu.
