GCND Hackathon: Automatic linguistic annotation and speech recognition of dialects

Join us for a dynamic two-part course exploring dialect syntax through hands-on projects. During the first part of the course, participants will learn about automatic speech recognition (ASR), data annotation, and visualization, with a focus on dialect data in lectures taught by Veronique Hoste (UGent) and Hugo van Hamme (KU Leuven).

In the second part, participants will work on collaborative projects using data from the Spoken Corpus of Southern Dutch Dialects (CGND) to enhance ASR or annotation tools, gaining practical experience in dialect research. Potential projects will be proposed by CGND-researchers, but participants will also be encouraged to propose their own projects. Projects may involve developing tools for data analysis, address questions about language variation, or creating works incorporating the range of voices and stories in the dataset.
