Conference program.
On 12 January, CLARIN-LV organised a seminar to demonstrate digital humanities researchers how to efficiently use and find language data.
The goal of this seminar was to provide DH researchers with practical knowledge on how data can be retrieved from language corpora and to introduce a new feature of korpuss.lv, the federated search in the diverse collection of Latvian language corpora. Participants included DH researchers from the Institute of Latvian Language, Faculty of Humanities of UL, and Liepāja University. Materials can be used by other DH researchers who need support in their corpus studies, including researchers from the SAFMORIL K-centre.
