Paralex Datathon @ LIFT2

Host Institution: Université Paris-Nanterre, France
Website: https://paralex-standard.org/events/

Dates: 18-Nov-2026 - 18-Nov-2026
Location: Paris, France

Minimum Education Level: For Masters students, PhD students &
researchers

Focus: This datathon aims to guide participants through the creation
of high-quality, FAIR morphological data. Participants will create
Paralex datasets, machine-readable collections of inflectional
paradigms. These collections are of benefit to people working on
descriptions of individual languages, language typologists, theorists
and quantitative linguists.
Participants are expected to bring morphological data they are
interested in, be it content from a grammar, their own fieldwork
collection, other datasets, etc.
