The Study Day Background Noise or Added Value? Managing Noise in Computer Processing of Linguistic Corpora was held in Grenoble on 28 April 2023.
The event, organized by the Université Grenoble Alpes and the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, was aimed at PhD students, young researchers and post-docs as well as experienced researchers.
Its main goal was to understand to what extent noise can be a source of information, particularly during the corpora annotation stage.
It was an occasion to reflect on noise management methods in Natural Language Processing and Corpus Linguistics, on the impact it has on the quality of linguistic data and on the potential impact of noise in the phases of data collection, recording and annotation.
Dr Ouafae Nahli (CNR-ILC | CWALM Research Unit 2 Leader) gave an invited talk entitled Producing Tools for Studying Under-researched Languages: the Case of Contemporary Written Arabic, during which she introduced the CWALM project.
