Miriam Butt and Dominik Sacha will hold the Computational Linguistics Tutorial at this years' DGfS in Konstanz (February 23, 2016), the topic being LingVis: Visual Analysis for Linguistics.

LREC16 will host the second edition of VisLR II workshop "Visualization as added value in the development, use and evaluation of LRs", organized by project members Mennatallah El-Assady and Annette Hautli-Janisz and EURAC Bozen researcher Verena Lyding. Deadline for submission is February 7, 2016. We are looking forward to your contribution!

On Thursday 10/29 and Friday 10/30, we organized a workshop entitled "The Automated Measurement of Deliberation". Togehter with Prof. André Bächtiger and his team, we intensively discussed possibilities to the automated measurement and its challenges. 

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the emerging field of the visualization of linguistic information (LingVis) which combines techniques developed in the fields of Information Visualization (InfoVis) and Visual Analytics with methodology and analyses from theoretical and computational linguistics. This allows for novel perspectives on linguistic data patterns. Besides standard visualization techniques such as bar charts, scatterplots or line charts, a large number of advanced novel methods have been developed. Prominent examples are treemaps, pixel displays, or the sophisticated visualizations of graphs for modeling complex interactions. We aim to introduce students to the basic principles of InfoVis and present concrete use cases of LingVis in both synchronic and diachronic dimensions. A part of the course will include hands-on sessions in which students can experiment with pre-prepared data sets and freely accessible LingVis software in order to investigate how complex linguistic questions can profit from visual analysis.

From 18:30 - 19:00 in room A704 and
from 20:30 - 21:00 in room A704.

Der LREC14 Workshop VisLR: Visualization as added value in the development, use and evaluation of LRs organized by the project members Annette Hautli-Janisz and Christian Rohrdantz, together with Verena Lyding (EURAC Bozen). Deadline for submission is February 6th, 2014.

On the 1st and 2nd of October 2013, the kickoff-workshop of the eHumanitites project VisArgue took place at the Universität Konstanz. More information on invited speakers and the program can be found here.

The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to present the exciting new field of visual analysis to a broad audience of linguists in Germany in order to give an opportunity for fruitful
discussions on how linguists and visual analysts can join forces. Workshops at other international conferences (e.g. EACL) show that visualization is currently a much-debated topic in computational as well as theoretical linguistic research and we want to pave the way for more collaboration in this field. The interest lies in innovative visualization techniques as well as new areas of application or phenomena where visual analyses can be useful to either generate or conrm hypotheses on the basis of the data.
