SUMMARY:Data analysis with Swiss-AL for textual data
DESCRIPTION:Language data from public communication is becoming increasingly valuable – not only for (applied) linguistics\, but also for disciplines such as the humanities\, social sciences\, psychology\, and communication and media studies. Open access to corpora of public discourse is therefore essential for advancing research across fields. Swiss-AL is a key resource in this area: it offers multilingual corpora of Swiss public communication\, including journalistic media\, parliamentary transcripts\, and press releases and news items from a broad spectrum of organizations and institutions in politics\, the economy\, science\, and civil society. Swiss-AL is part of Switzerland’s linguistic research infrastructure and a core component of CLARIN-CH. It is developed at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) by the ZHAW Digital Discourse Lab\, one of five entities of national infrastructure situated within the CLARIN-CH ecosystem. \n \nIn this training session\, participants will get to know the new Swiss-AL Workbench – a platform designed to give researchers direct access to the Swiss-AL corpora and to support a variety of data-driven research methods\, including topic modeling\, word embeddings\, distributional analysis\, context exploration\, and frequency analysis. The session will feature a hands-on introduction to the Workbench\, highlight common use cases and areas of application\, and provide practical guidance for incorporating Swiss-AL into your own research. \nSpeaker: Julia Krasselt \nPlease note that the Zoom link will be sent to participants upon registration: 📝 Register now \n\nDownload or watch the recording and slides of the session:\nRecording\nSlides

SUMMARY:Modelling of Multi-Modal Data in LiRI Corpus Platform and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:While there exist common solutions and standard practices to model text-only corpora\, multimodal conversation corpora present the unique challenge of integrating textual transcripts\, temporal information and annotations that can equally relate to speech and non-speech modalities. The LiRI Corpus Platform (LCP) was designed to accommodate both textual and multimodal corpora\, allowing for the modeling of time-aligned annotations associated with multimedia files\, making it possible for users of the platform to efficiently browse and query multimodal corpora. LCP aims to become a solution of reference for hosting multimodal corpora and we especially encourage curators of such corpora to attend this session. \nIn this session\, we will report on the process of importing a multimodal conversation corpus into LCP as part of the FAIR FI-LD project. We will give an overview of the different file formats that were involved in the modelling of the corpus and explain how we converged on using the TEI/ISO format as our interoperable standard. Participants will then engage in a practical exercise as they are guided through a simple Python script to import a simplified sample corpus into LCP. We will end the session with a general discussion about setting up workflows for the curation of multi-modal corpora and about the possibilities of automatizing the extraction and annotation of speech from videos. \nSpeakers: Johanna Miecznikowski-Fuenfschilling\, Teodora Vuković and Jeremy Zehr \nPlease note that the Zoom link will be sent to participants upon registration: 📝 Register now \n\nDownload or watch the recording and slides of the session:\nRecording\nSlides

SUMMARY:LiRI Corpus Platform: Data Analysis Using Text\, Audio\, and Video Corpora
DESCRIPTION:The LiRI Corpus Platform (LCP) provides an integrated environment for working with annotated linguistic data across multiple modalities. It supports not only large text corpora\, but also resources that include time-aligned annotations on audio and video streams. \nIn this session\, participants will explore how LCP enables multimodal analysis: from examining syntactic and semantic structures in text to navigating spoken interaction and gesture captured in time-based media. By utilizing the example corpora\, we will demonstrate how annotations are represented and queried across modalities. The session will also show the relationship between how data is structured and the expressions on LCP’s DQD querying language. \nPlease note that the Zoom link will be sent to participants upon registration: 📝 Register now \nSpeakers: Teodora Vuković and Jeremy Zehr \n\nDownload or watch the recording and slides of the session:\nRecording\nSlides

SUMMARY:LiRI Corpus Platform: Data Model and Query
DESCRIPTION:The LiRI Corpus Platform (LCP) was developed to host and query large data sets of annotated texts and multimedia content. LCP can accomodate a broad variety of corpora; in the context of Open Research Data\, users are encouraged to import and share their data with LCP. In this session\, participants will get familiar with LCP by looking at existing corpora: how their annotations are represented and how they can be queried. This will lead to a discussion about data preparation\, not only from the perspective of the platform’s technical specifications\, but also and as importantly from the end user’s perspective\, so as to facilitate their querying and\, ultimately\, their extracting of the information that you are sharing with them. \nPlease note that the Zoom link will be sent to participants upon registration: \n📝 Register now \n \nGo to the overview of the CLARIN-CH Training Sessions 2025 \n\nDownload or watch the recording and slides of the session:\nRecording\nSlides

SUMMARY:Webinar on Cross-border projects: Which laws apply?
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to announce the webinar Cross-border projects: which laws apply?\, which is organised within the CLARIN-CH Working Group Management of Sensitive and Personal data\, Ethical and Legal issues for linguistic data and will include the presentation of two case studies. \n\nThe recording and slides of the webinar can be accessed here: \n💻 Recording   📄 Slides case study 1   📄 Slides case study 2 \nCase study 1: Data protection\, data storage and data sharing in a Swiss-Indian research project\nIn this webinar\, we present the data protection\, data storage and data sharing challenges we have faced as part of the Indo-Swiss research project “Mapping Heritage Language Structure through Sociolinguistic Cues: A Case Study of Swiss Tamil” (2023-2026). The main focus of the project is on the language use of second-generation Swiss Tamil speakers (in the German- and French-speaking parts of Switzerland). In order to compare their language to baseline data\, we have also collected data in India and Sri Lanka. The involvement of three countries with different legal requirements\, two universities and now likely also an external partner\, has required legal agreements between the concerned parties. In this talk\, we will thus describe the challenges and the solutions found. \nSpeakers: Anita Auer is Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Lausanne. Rajamathangi Shanmugasundaram is a Postdoctoral Researcher on the above-mentioned Indo-Swiss research project at the University of Lausanne. \nCase study 2: How Blurred Can It Get? Considerations on the De-Identification of Video Data in Different Contexts\nThis talk will present the process of preparing a Swiss dataset of 180 peer discussions between elementary schoolchildren for publication on a German corpus platform for conversational data. The video and transcript data\, collected in the course of two SNSF-funded projects on oral argumentation skills\, went through various steps of anonymization (i.e.\, de-identification) to arrive at their final product. I will discuss the challenges that arise when balancing data richness with standards of data protection in different countries and contexts. \nSpeaker: Oliver Spiess works as a research assistant in the SNSF project KompAS at the University of Basel. He wrangles and analyzes data from 180 peer conversations between schoolchildren with a focus on the argumentation skills at different grades. \nThis webinar is part of a series of webinars\, which are taking place monthly during spring 2024 and the autumn semester. Discover the list of planned webinars here.

SUMMARY:CLARIN-CH Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\n\n\n\nThe event is the first of a series of annual meetings of the CLARIN-CH community. It is organized by the CLARIN-CH consortium in cooperation with its member institutions and aims to support the scientific community in their challenges when it comes to Open Research data. It seeks to foster exchange and to enable the encounter between researchers and data management experts\, as well as legal experts. \nThe 2024 edition aims to bring together experts and researchers to discuss challenges and opportunities\, and to open the dialogue on standards and practices of open research data as well as the legal and ethical aspects of processing and sharing linguistic data. The event builds on the work done by two CLARIN-CH Working Groups\, which address essential topics related to Open Research Data. \nData Pitches\nPresent challenges and opportunities you discovered in handling your research data with respect to Open Science principles and receive insightful feedback from peers and experts. You are also invited to submit a contribution if you haven’t collected the data yet\, but want to address potential challenges and opportunities. \nWorld Café\nParticipate in discussions with the invited experts: \n\nBrian Kleiner (FORS) – data protection\nSimone Mäder (UNIBAS) – data protection\nSuzanna Marazza (CCdigitallaw\, USI) – copyright and other legal aspects\nGerold Schneider (LiRI\, UZH) – data formats and technical issues\nTeodora Vukovic (LiRI\, UZH) – data formats and technical issues\nChristian Futter (UB UZH\, Open Science Services and the Language Repository of Switzerland) – data storing and sharing\n\nThe world café format will provide time for in-depth discussions\, allowing participants to explore solutions to the challenges presented during the data pitches. This interactive setting is designed to foster meaningful exchanges and collaborative brainstorming. \n\n\nCall for Participation\nFor the morning sessions\, we welcome submissions for data pitches on one or several of the four topics listed below. Data pitches should address challenges you face(d) related to the chosen theme(s) and if possible\, present solutions. Each data pitch should be no longer than 5-10 minutes and held in English. Presentation slides are recommended. Submissions may also be made if the data has not been yet collected\, but it presents potential challenges and/or opportunities. \nTopics\n\nCopyright describes the rights that creators have over their literary and artistic works\, including their data. Researchers can encounter several challenges related to copyright when handling their data. These challenges can impact data sharing and reuse. Some key issues include questions around what can be shared\, how to attribute sources\, and whether specific data can be used freely or requires permission. Copyright considerations also come into play when deciding how to license the data for sharing.\nWhen it comes to data protection and the management of personal and sensitive data\, several critical issues arise: Researchers need to find the right balance between sharing data for research purposes and safeguarding individuals’ privacy. De-identification techniques can help here. They come with their own risks\, however: It is quite impossible to render a dataset completely anonymous without also jeopardizing data utility\, other datasets and additional information can potentially lead to re-identification of individuals and some types of linguistic data are less suited for these techniques. Security measures need to be taken to safe-guard personal and sensitive data\, which poses additional problems\, e.g. in collaborative projects. Also\, linguists collecting data in other countries or from specific target groups need to navigate the complex legal landscape to ensure that the management and sharing of linguistic data comply with all relevant laws and regulations.\nWith regard to data formats (e.g. audio\, video\, text) and their technical aspects\, linguists can also encounter various challenges. These include integrating diverse data formats for comprehensive linguistic analyses\, harmonizing multimodal data\, with annotating linguistic data consistently across formats\, maintaining uniformity in transcription conventions\, in part-of-speech tagging and in semantic labeling\, with storing large-scale data (especially video) efficiently and having appropriate retrieval solutions\, with optimizing storage formats\, indexing and query performance\, and with applying standardized formats across various systems.\nTo store and share their data\, linguists are further presented with the issue of selecting appropriate repositories that align with their data type (and the intended audience)\, of storing the data in appropriate (standardized) formats\, and of working collaboratively while effectively with other team members. Additionally\, they are faced with the challenges of safeguarding sensitive and personal data while also making it accessible and taking into account expectations and value-systems of participants\, as well as ensuring the researchers’ responsibility towards the population from which data has been gathered (according to the CARE principles).
