We present a collection of (currently) about 5.500 commands directed to voice-controlled virtual assistants (VAs) by sixteen initial users of a VA system in their homes. The collection comprises recordings captured by the VA itself and with a conditional voice recorder (CVR) selectively capturing recordings including the VA-directed commands plus some surrounding context. Next to a description of the collection, we present initial findings on the patterns of use of the VA systems during the first weeks after installation, including usage timing, the development of usage frequency, distributions of sentence structures across commands, and (the development of) command success rates. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the applied collection-specific recording approach and describe potential research questions that can be investigated in the future, based on the collection, as well as the merit of combining quantitative corpus linguistic approaches with qualitative in-depth analyses of single cases.
"Das im Januar 2022 gestartete Projekt "Sprachanfragen" (https://www.ids-mannheim.de/gra/projekte2/sprachanfragen/) verfolgt erstmalig das Ziel, Sprachanfragedaten zu erfassen, aufzubereiten und ein wissenschaftsöffentliches Monitorkorpus aus ihnen zu erstellen. Dazukommend wird eine Rechercheschnittstelle entwickelt, mit der die Sprachanfragen systematisch wissenschaftlich analysierbar gemacht werden. Das Poster gibt einen Überblick über das Projekt, zeigt erste Ergebnisse und bietet einen Ausblick auf Überlegungen zur Konzeption eines Chatbots zur automatisierten Beantwortung von Sprachanfragen."

This paper describes general requirements for evaluating and documenting NLP tools with a focus on morphological analysers and the design of a Gold Standard. It is argued that any evaluation must be measurable and documentation thereof must be made accessible for any user of the tool. The documentation must be of a kind that it enables the user to compare different tools offering the same service, hence the descriptions must contain measurable values. A Gold Standard presents a vital part of any measurable evaluation process, therefore, the corpus-based design of a Gold Standard, its creation and problems that occur are reported upon here. Our project concentrates on SMOR, a morphological analyser for German that is to be offered as a web-service. We not only utilize this analyser for designing the Gold Standard, but also evaluate the tool itself at the same time. Note that the project is ongoing, therefore, we cannot present final results.
Corpus-based identification and disambiguation of reading indicators for German nominalizations
(2010)
Corpus data is often structurally and lexically ambiguous; corpus extraction methodologies thus must be made aware of ambiguities. Therefore, given an extraction task, all relevant ambiguities must be identified. To resolve these ambiguities, contextual data responsible for one or another reading is to be considered. In the context of our present work, German -ung-nominalizations and their sortal readings are under examination. A number of these nominalizations may be read as an event or a result, depending on the semantic group they belong to. Here, we concentrate on nominalizations of verbs of saying (henceforth: "verba dicendi"), identify their context partners and their influence on the sortal reading of the nominalizations in question. We present a tool which calculates the sortal reading of such nominalizations and thus may improve not only corpus extraction, but also e.g. machine translation. Lastly, we describe successful attempts to identify the correct sortal reading, conclusions and future work.
Als Teil der NFDI vernetzt Text+ ortsverteilt verschiedenste Daten und Dienste für die geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung und stellt sie der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft FAIR zur Verfügung. In diesem Beitrag beschreiben wir die Umsetzung beispielhaft im Bereich der Text+ Datendomäne Sammlungen anhand von Korpora, die in verschiedenen Disziplinen Verwendung finden. Die Infrastruktur ist auf Erweiterbarkeit ausgelegt, so dass auch weitere Ressourcen über Text+ verfügbar gemacht werden können. Enthalten ist auch ein Ausblick auf weitere zu erwartende Entwicklungen. Ein Beitrag zur 9. Tagung des Verbands "Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum" - DHd 2023 Open Humanities Open Culture.
Projektvorstellung – Redewiedergabe. Eine literatur- und sprachwissenschaftliche Korpusanalyse
(2018)
Das laufende DFG-Projekt „Redewiedergabe“ stellt einen Anwendungsfall quantitativer Sprach-und Literaturwissenschaft dar und beschäftigt sich mit dem Phänomen „Redewiedergabe“ auf der Grundlage großer Datenmengen. Zu diesem Zweck wird zum einen ein Korpus manuell mit Redewiedergabeformen annotiert, zum anderen werden Verfahren zur automatischen Erkennung des Phänomens entwickelt. Ziel ist es, Forschungsfragen nach der Entwicklung von Redewiedergabe vor allem im 19. Jahrhundert zu beantworten.
This paper reports on recent developments within the European Reference Corpus EuReCo, an open initiative that aims at providing and using virtual and dynamically definable comparable corpora based on existing national, reference or other large corpora. Given the well-known shortcomings of other types of multilingual corpora such as parallel/translation corpora (shining-through effects, over-normalization, simplification, etc.) or web-based comparable corpora (covering only web material), EuReCo provides a unique linguistic resource offering new perspectives for fine-grained contrastive research on authentic cross-linguistic data, applications in translation studies and foreign language teaching and learning.
We report on a new project building a Natural Language Processing resource for Zulu by making use of resources already available. Combining tagging results with the results of morphological analysis semi-automatically, we expect to reduce the amount of manual work when generating a finely-grained gold standard corpus usable for training a tagger. From the tagged corpus, we plan to extract verb-argument pairs with the aim of compiling a verb valency lexicon for Zulu.
