[Corpora-List] Conference Proceedings on Youtube or Other Online Media

[Leon Derczynski]

Dear Muhammad,

When the facilities and staff are available to record sessions at
conferences, post-process the recordings and organise them for upload, they
tend to be presented openly. I have a suspicion this can be prohibitively
expensive, especially when there are many parallel sessions. For
conferences online, sites like Techtalks often offer some presentations,
and you can (for example) find the NAACL 2013 talks there.

  http://techtalks.tv/naacl/2013/

Some researchers have taken the creative initiative of leaving their laptop
on their front-row seat to record their presentation, also, with varying
success.

All the best,


Leon

receive a number of conference calls and announcements every week. These
conferences are free as well as paid. Now that Internet and communication
(specially media like Youtube) are so popular and cheap, I was wondering
whether it is possible to provide conference proceedings (key speakers'
addresses etc.) online. The idea must have been there in other minds and I
might be ignorant of appropriate website(s)/ link(s) where some of such
(video/ audio) proceedings are available.

I think it would be a great help for linguistics students and researchers
from less developed countries who cannot travel to destinations world wide
but still feel motivation to listen to key figures speaking at such events.
