[Corpora-List] Summer School in Semantic and Nonverbal Annotation

[Costanza Navarretta]

Summer School in Semantic and Nonverbal Annotation
--------------------------------------------------------------
August 15-26, 2011

Preliminary announcement.
The University of Copenhagen is organizing a Summer School in Semantic and Nonverbal Corpus Annotation and Evaluation.
See https://clara.uib.no/training-program/semantic-and-nonverbal-annotation/
The course is part of the EU Marie Curie ITN, CLARA: Common Language Resources and their Applications. See https://clara.uib.no/
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 one week only. 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.
