Mind the Gap: Language Data, Their Producers, and the Scientific Process (Crazy New Idea)

Authors: Tobias Weber

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 93, 3rd Conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2021)

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of low-resource languages in NLP through the lens of different stakeholders. It argues that the current "consumerist approach" to language data reinforces a vicious circle which increases the technological exclusion of minority communities. Researchers' decisions directly affect these processes to the detriment of minorities and practitioners engaging in language work in these communities. In line with the conference topic, the paper concludes with strategies and prerequisites for creating a positive feedback loop in our research benefiting language work within the next decade.

Can Computational Meta-Documentary Linguistics Provide for Accountability and Offer an Alternative to "Reproducibility" in Linguistics?

Authors: Tobias Weber

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 70, 2nd Conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2019)

Abstract
As an answer to the need for accountability in linguistics, computational methodology and big data approaches offer an interesting perspective to the field of meta-documentary linguistics. The focus of this paper lies on the scientific process of citing published data and the insights this gives to the workings of a discipline. The proposed methodology shall aid to bring out the narratives of linguistic research within the literature. This can be seen as an alternative, philological approach to documentary linguistics.
