Join us for a two day hands-on workshop exploring LexiVault, a
user-friendly, open-source web tool developed by Samantha Wray, Hind
Saddiki and Daisy Li as part of the SAVANT project for querying
annotated lexicons, especially those of low-resource languages.
Psycholinguistic research on lesser-studied languages often requires
researchers to build corpora and compute measures like word frequency
and phonological neighborhood density from scratch. LexiVault closes
that gap by making these metrics easily accessible and searchable.
Currently, the tool hosts lexicons for Tagalog, Bangla, and multiple
Arabic dialects, with searchable annotations including part of speech
tags, morpheme  frequency, transition probability, and more.
We'd like to expand our offerings while helping you convert your
language data to a useable, shareable resource, whether you're
starting with raw audio, a text corpus, or existing annotations. This
workshop is intended for those with any amount of corpus or behavioral
data that they would like to process or annotate further for storage
and usage on the LexiVault site.
The focus of this two-day workshop will differ from individual to
individual depending on the starting state of your dataset and your
interests, but could take the following forms:
- automatic transcription of auditory data to create a text corpus
from speech
- stemming a text corpus to create a list of morphemes and their
frequencies
- part-of-speech tagging a text corpus
- calculating minimal pairs and phonological neighborhood density from
a text corpus
All paths lead to your resource being in a form you (and others!) can
easily query in the future.
