Proceedings of the 2024 Joint International Conference on Computational Linguistics, Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC-COLING 2024)

Brigitte Krenn, Johann Petrak, Marina Kubina, Christian Burger This paper presents a sexism/misogyny dataset extracted from comments of a large online forum of an Austrian newspaper. The comments are in Austrian German language, and in some cases interspersed with dialectal or English elements. We describe the data collection, the annotation guidelines and the annotation process resulting in a corpus of approximately 8 000 comments which were annotated with 5 levels of sexism/misogyny, ranging from 0 (not sexist/misogynist) to 4 (highly sexist/misogynist). The professional forum moderators (self-identified females and males) of the online newspaper were involved as experts in the creation of the annotation guidelines and the annotation of the user comments. In addition, we also describe first results of training transformer-based classification models for both binarized and original label classification of the corpus.

Linguistic, Kinematic and Gaze Information in Task Descriptions: The LKG-Corpus

Proceedings of the Twelfth Language Resources and Evaluation Conference

Data from neuroscience and psychology suggest that sensorimotor cognition may be of central importance to language. Specifically, the linguistic structure of utterances referring to concrete actions may reflect the structure of the sensorimotor processing underlying the same action. To investigate this, we present the Linguistic, Kinematic and Gaze information in task descriptions Corpus (LKG-Corpus), comprising multimodal data on 13 humans, conducting take, put, and push actions, and describing these actions with 350 utterances. Recorded are audio, video, motion and eye-tracking data while participants perform an action and describe what they do. The dataset is annotated with orthographic transcriptions of utterances and information on: (a) gaze behaviours, (b) when a participant touched an object, (c) when an object was moved, (d) when a participant looked at the location s/he would next move the object to, (e) when the participant’s gaze was stable on an area. With the exception of the annotation of stable gaze, all annotations were performed manually. With the LKG-Corpus, we present a dataset that integrates linguistic, kinematic and gaze data with an explicit focus on relations between action and language. On this basis, we outline applications of the dataset to both basic and applied research.

The OFAI Multi-Modal Task Description Corpus
Stephanie Schreitter | Brigitte Krenn
Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'16)

The OFAI Multimodal Task Description Corpus (OFAI-MMTD Corpus) is a collection of dyadic teacher-learner (human-human and human-robot) interactions. The corpus is multimodal and tracks the communication signals exchanged between interlocutors in task-oriented scenarios including speech, gaze and gestures. The focus of interest lies on the communicative signals conveyed by the teacher and which objects are salient at which time. Data are collected from four different task description setups which involve spatial utterances, navigation instructions and more complex descriptions of joint tasks.
