Apologies! I switched off the microphone as we were setting up – then forgot to switch it back on and being in a different venue and with a different tech set-up I could not see that anything was amiss until the speaker finished.

Pre-Conference Workshop: FIN-CLARIAH tools to make sense of web data

Details including schedule can be found here: DRDHum 2024 Workshop Tuesday 10th of December

This 2-hour workshop presents the results, services, and ongoing work produced within FIN-CLARIAH (https://www.kielipankki.fi/organization/fin-clariah/). This research infrastructure is currently funded by the Research Council of Finland, and its activities aim at fostering data-intensive and digital research in Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). The workshop introduces datasets and tools that are freely available for SSH researchers, including newspapers, periodicals, and other publications from the National Library of Finland, machine-readable records from the National Archives, Finnish parliamentary speeches, Twitch game streams, and social media data from the Nordic region. These novel tools and interfaces have been built to evaluate, subset, enrich, and analyze large-scale SSH datasets. Current efforts are directed towards supporting visual and multimodal research and developing transformer models for SSH research. In addition to introducing resources available, in this workshop we will focus on a selection of tools and datasets for social media and web data.

Overall, the FIN-CLARIAH consortium comprises two components, FIN-CLARIN and DARIAH-FI. The Language Bank of Finland (Kielipankki) provides centralized services for sharing and reusing materials and tools in the research community. In turn, the DARIAH-FI consortium consists of SSH research teams with high demands and expertise in data-intensive research committed to make what they develop (datasets, tools and methods) available to wider research communities.

This workshop offers an experimental and hands-on setting that complements the conference theme on digital applications in the advent of ML and AI. After providing an overview of FIN-CLARIAH and its core services, there will be a practical section with four resources for researchers in the format of a brief tutorial with time for attendees to try the showcased resources on their own laptops and to pose questions to the presenters. The workshop is open to all conference participants.
