Contact and support

CLARIN-PL supports researchers, lecturers, teachers, and (PhD) students in their research and teaching activities in the humanities and social sciences. In particular, we support activities that involve the use of data in the form of texts in natural languages – the focus is laid on Polish, but we do not forget about the richness of the linguistic world around us – we also have much experience with other languages.

Both the use of services and resources provided by CLARIN-PL, as well as workshops, individual appointments and access to training materials are free of charge, thanks to the consortium’s funding by the science department of the Polish Government (initially by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, later by the Ministry of Science and Education).

The support of the CLARIN-PL infrastructure comprises the following areas:

Development, maintenance and provision of language tools/resources

Collecting information on the needs of our users to facilitate the adaptation of infrastructure

more...

The CLARIN infrastructure development model involves close collaboration with our users (both teachers and researchers). The Language Technology Centre (LTC) systematically collects information on how the infrastructure is used and what the users’ needs are: insufficient in the software, new functionalities required, innovative ways of organising data, etc. LTC collects this information through workshops, individual appointments and correspondence. Please contact us to let us about the ideas that could be used to develop the infrastructure – all comments and feedback are welcome: jan.wieczorek@pwr.edu.pl or clarin-pl@pwr.edu.pl.

Training and promotional activities

more...

To support our users, the LTC produces manuals, tutorials, training videos – all to explain how to use CLARIN tools/resources. These are available in the Media Library.

LTC also organises training workshops, seminars, individual appointments with users who conduct research or just want to use NLP technology in scientific research. Our trainings are addressed both to people beginning their adventure with machine language processing, as well as to experienced users who wish to broaden their expertise and skills. We always try to adapt our workshops and appointments to the level of user advancement in the field, the scientific discipline and the specificity of the research conducted. We are always open to suggestions concerning such events – from small appointments organized for 2-5 people to large workshops (our largest event had 280 registered participants). If you are interested in any of the above types of training, do not hesitate to contact us: jan.wieczorek@pwr.edu.pl or clarin-pl@pwr.edu.pl.

Our ongoing assistance with the use of language processing technology in research

more...

CLARIN-PL is committed to resolving technical issues related to the use of the infrastructure on a daily basis. We collect information about faults and other inconveniences, which we try to fix.

We also support researchers at every stage of research: from planning, through the phase of preparing the data for processing, to analysing the results. The extent of the assistance provided by CLARIN is always negotiated individually with the users. This assistance is provided free of charge, as part of the Consortium’s statutory activities. Our experts will be happy to provide information on the details of resources/tools offered by CLARIN, assistance with research schedules, cost estimation, selection of appropriate tools and staff training.

To report faults or arrange an individual appointment, please contact clarin-pl@pwr.edu.pl or jan.wieczorek@pwr.edu.pl.
