Meeting Description:
Parliamentary data is an important source of scholarly and socially relevant
content, serving as a verified communication channel between the elected
political representatives and members of the society. The development of
accessible, comprehensive and well-annotated parliamentary corpora is
therefore crucial for the information society, as such corpora help scientists
and investigative journalists to ascertain the accuracy of socio-politically
relevant information, and to inform the citizens about the trends and insights
on the basis of such data explorations. Research-wise, parliamentary corpora
are a quintessential resource for a number of disciplines in digital
humanities and social sciences, such as political science, sociology, history,
and (socio)linguistics.
The distinguishing characteristic of parliamentary data is that it is spoken
language produced in controlled circumstances. Such data has traditionally
been transcribed in a formal way but is now also increasingly released in the
original audio and video formats, which encourages resource and software
development and provides research opportunities related to structuring,
synchronisation, visualisation, querying and analysis of parliamentary
corpora. Therefore, a harmonised approach to data curation practises for this
type of data can support the advancement of the field significantly. One of
the ways in which the research community is supported in this line of work is
through the conversion of existing corpora and further development of new
cross-national parliamentary corpora into a highly comparable, harmonised set
of multilingual resources. These allow researchers to share comparative
perspectives and to perform multidisciplinary research on parliamentary data.
We envision that the ParlaCLARIN III workshop, as a venue for knowledge and
experience exchange on the topic, will contribute to the development and
growth of the field of digital parliamentary science.
This third ParlaCLARIN workshop is a continuation of the 2018 and 2020
editions held at the respective LREC conferences. On the one hand, it
continues to bring together developers, curators and researchers of regional,
national and international parliamentary debates from across diverse
disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences. On the other hand, we
envisage the appearance of new discussion threads, tasks, and challenges that
are partially inspired by or related to the new data releases such as
ParlaMint and data formats such as Parla-CLARIN.
Call for Papers:
We invite unpublished original work focusing on (but not exclusive to)
Compilation, annotation, visualisation and utilisation of parliamentary
records
Harmonisation of existing multilingual parliamentary resources, containing
either synchronic or diachronic data or both
Linking or comparing of parliamentary records with other datasets of political
discourse such as party manifestos, political speeches, political campaign
debates, and social media posts, and to other sources of structured knowledge,
such as formal ontologies and LOD datasets (in particular for the description
of speakers, political parties, etc.)
Special themes for this year’s workshop are:
- Machine translation of parliamentary proceedings and research using machine
translated parliamentary data
- Semantic tagging of parliamentary proceedings and research using
semantically tagged parliamentary data
- Compilation, alignment and annotation of multimodal parliamentary resources
and research using multimodal parliamentary data
- Apart from the dissemination of the results, the workshop also aims to
address the identified obstacles, discuss open issues and coordinate future
efforts in this increasingly trans-national and cross-disciplinary community.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Creation and annotation of parliamentary data in textual and spoken format
- Enrichment of parliamentary data with semantic and named entity tagging
- Querying and visualisation of parliamentary data
- Text mining over parliamentary and other political language data
- Harmonization of multilingual parliamentary resources
- Adoptions or extensions of the Parla-CLARIN and ParlaMint schema to other
parliamentary resources
- Comparative studies of parliamentary corpora
- Parliamentary corpora as a source of political language
- Diachronic studies based on parliamentary corpora
- Studies of parliamentary corpora with particular focus on the debates
dedicated to global crises, such as COVID pandemic, climate crisis
- The potential of parliamentary resources beyond academia
SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION
We accept submission of long papers (up to 8 pages), short papers (up to 4
pages) and demo papers (up to 4 pages) to be presented as a long or short oral
presentation at the workshop. The papers of the workshop will be published in
online proceedings.
When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide
essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also
technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the
work described in the paper or are a result of your research. Moreover, ELRA
encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services,
etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including
evaluation ones). For contact data, stylesheets, up-to-date details on
submission and the workshop itself, please consult the workshop website.
