Summer School in Semantic and Multimodal Corpus Annotation and Evaluation

Preliminary announcement

The University of Copenhagen is organizing the CLARA Summer School in Semantic and Multimodal Corpus Annotation and Evaluation.

The first week will focus on semantic corpus annotation (sense ambiguity, semantic roles) whereas the second week will focus on multimodal (verbal and non-verbal) annotation of video-recorded interactions.

The course is worth 10 ECTS credits (5 credits per week). It is also possible to register for only one week only. This course is open to external participants, who are very welcome. Participation is free, but there is a charge for meals.

Course goal
Young researchers will be trained within different aspects of semantic and multimodal annotation as well as evaluation methods of these and application of machine learning techniques. The course will be a mixture of theoretical lectures and hands-on exercises. All participants will be trained in both semantic and multimodal annotation schemes, but they will also get the opportunity to present their own project and to focus on their preferred area of annotation. Tools: Stamp, Cornerstone, Jubilee, GATE, ANVIL, and others.

Teachers:

  • Susan Brown, University of Colorado at Boulder (DARPA GALE OntoNotes project, VerbNet, SemLink)
  • Bolette Sandford Pedersen, University of Copenhagen (Wordnets and other lexical resources for semantic annotation)
  • Anders Søgaard, University of Copenhagen (machine learning algorithms)
  • Costanza Navarretta, University of Copenhagen (MUMIN annotation model, NOMCO corpus)
  • Patrizia Paggio, University of Copenhagen (MUMIN annotation model, NOMCO corpus)

Further teachers, program and other details to be announced later.

About registration: PhD Students associated with the CLARA ITN-Network have first priority to participate in the summer school. However all other PhD students and young researchers are welcome to register, but we can not guarantee available places.

Other researchers with an interest in the subject are also welcome to register, but PhD Students and young researchers take precedence over other participants.

All registered for the summer school will be notified about their request for admission after the registration deadline.

Closed for registration
