Events

On 6 and 7 November 2021, an online workshop on regional markedness in text took place, organised by the ReLDI centre, University of Zurich, and our knowledge centre CLASSLA. The materials from the workshop are now available here. They provide a gentle introduction to querying the corpora through the noSketchEngine and KonText concordancers, using the Corpus Query Language (CQL) syntax and morphosyntactic descriptions (MSDs) to analyse gender bias in society.

We are happy to announce that our Knowledge Centre for South Slavic Languages, CLASSLA, now has a mailing list. You can subscribe to it here to be informed of new resources, technologies, events and projects for South Slavic languages. All relevant announcements will be also published here.

In November, Tour de CLARIN presents the CLARIN Knowledge Centre for South Slavic Languages (CLASSLA), which offers support for automated processing of South Slavic languages, and is operated by the Slovene CLARIN.SI and the Bulgarian CLaDA-BG.

A new entry has been added to the CLARIN Knowledge Centre for South Slavic languages (CLASSLA). In Success stories, we present activities where collaboration resulted in important language resources for Slovenian, Croatian and Serbian, created with a fraction of the full costs by exploiting the large synergistic potential of South Slavic languages. These are the stories that motivated the creation of CLASSLA.

We are pleased to announce that Tomaž Erjavec is the winner of this year’s Steven Krauwer Award for outstanding contributions to the goals of the CLARIN ERIC infrastructure. The award was presented at the CLARIN Annual Conference 2021. More information on the award, as well as an interview with its winner, can be found here.

CLARIN.SI in 2020 again launched a call for project proposals for the members of its consortium. The two successfully concluded projects (Tutorial on the siParl 2.0 corpus: Voices of the parliament – Corpus linguistics approach to parliamentary discourse and The compilation of the MEMIS epigraphic corpus of Medieval and Early Modern inscriptions in Slovenia) are described on the CLARIN.SI Projects page.

The ParlaMint project in which CLARIN.SI is one of the main partners, recently featured in the CLARIN Café, where the current results of the project were presented. A video of the talks is also available.

CLARIN.SI Language Technology Centre has been successfully re-assessed and has received a renewed B-Centre Certificate.

The CLARIN.SI Centre also obtained a CTS (CoreTrustSeal) certificate as a Core Trustworthy Data Repository.

Biennial Language Technologies and Digital Humanities 2020 Virtual Conference was held on the 24th and 25th of September 2020. Originally, the conference was supposed to take place at the Institute of Contemporary History, but was moved to a virtual format due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, we successfully concluded the conference.

More information on the conference can be found here.
