Reflections on 30 Years of Language Resource Development and Sharing
The Linguistic Data Consortium was founded in 1992 to solve the problem that limitations in access to shareable data was impeding progress in Human Language Technology research and development.
The NIEUW Project: Developing Language Resources through Novel Incentives
NIEUW leverages the power of novel incentives to elicit linguistic data and annotations from a wide variety of contributors including citizen scientists, game players, and language students and professionals.
Using Mixed Incentives to Document Xi’an Guanzhong
This paper describes our use of mixed incentives and the citizen science portal LanguageARC to prepare, collect and quality control a large corpus of object namings for the purpose of providing speech data to document the under-represented Guanzhong dialect of Chinese spoken in the Shaanxi province in the environs of Xi’an.
Identifying stable speech-language markers of autism in children: Preliminary evidence from a longitudinal telephony-based study
This study examined differences in linguistic features produced by autistic and neurotypical (NT) children during brief picture descriptions, and assessed feature stability over time.
The Third DIHARD Diarization Challenge
DIHARD III was the third in a series of speaker diarization challenges intended to improve the robustness of diarization systems to variability in recording equipment, noise conditions, and conversational domain.
LanguageARC - a tutorial
LanguageARC is a portal that offers citizen linguists opportunities to contribute to language related research.
A Progress Report on Activities at the Linguistic Data Consortium Benefitting the LREC Community
This latest in a series of Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) progress reports to the LREC community does not describe any single language resource, evaluation campaign or technology but sketches the activities, since the last report, of a data center devoted to supporting the work of LREC attendees among other research communities.
Related Works in the Linguistic Data Consortium Catalog
The authors go step-by-step through the development of the Related Works schema, implementation of the software and database changes, and data entry of the relations.
LanguageARC: Developing Language Resources Through Citizen Linguistics
Like other Citizen Science platforms and projects, LanguageARC harnesses the power and efforts of volunteers who are motivated by the incentives of contributing to science, learning and discovery, and belonging to a community dedicated to social improvement.
Stretching Disciplinary Boundaries in Language Resource Development and Use: a Linguistic Data Consortium Position Paper
Given the persistent gap between demand and supply, the impetus to reuse language resources is great.
The Second DIHARD Diarization Challenge: Dataset, task, and baselines
This paper introduces the second DIHARD challenge, the second in a series of speaker diarization challenges intended to improve the robustness of diarization systems to variation in recording equipment, noise conditions, and conversational domain.
Data Management Plans and Data Centers

Selection Criteria for Low Resource Language Programs
This paper documents and describes the criteria used to select languages for study within programs that include low resource languages whether given that label or another similar one.
The Language Application Grid and Galaxy
The NSF-SI2-funded LAPPS Grid project is a collaborative effort among Brandeis University, Vassar College, Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU), and the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC), which has developed an open, web-based infrastructure through which resources can be easily accessed and within which tailored language services can be efficiently composed, evaluated, disseminated and consumed by researchers, developers, and students across a wide variety of disciplines.
Trends in HLT Research: A Survey of LDC's Data Scholarship Program
Since its inception in 2010, the Linguistic Data Consortium{'}s data scholarship program has awarded no cost grants in data to 64 recipients from 26 countries.
Building Language Resources for Exploring Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that would benefit from low-cost and reliable improvements to screening and diagnosis.
Facing the Identification Problem in Language-Related Scientific Data Analysis.
This paper describes the problems that must be addressed when studying large amounts of data over time which require entity normalization applied not to the usual genres of news or political speech, but to the genre of academic discourse about language resources, technologies and sciences.
Developing a Framework for Describing Relations among Language Resources
However, the scope of the paper is limited to relations holding for datasets and tools.
The Language Application Grid
The Language Application (LAPPS) Grid project is establishing a framework that enables language service discovery, composition, and reuse and promotes sustainability, manageability, usability, and interoperability of natural language Processing (NLP) components.
New Directions for Language Resource Development and Distribution
Despite the growth in the number of linguistic data centers around the world, their accomplishments and expansions and the advances they have help enable, the language resources that exist are a small fraction of those required to meet the goals of Human Language Technologies (HLT) for the worldÂ’s languages and the promises they offer: broad access to knowledge, direct communication across language boundaries and engagement in a global community.
LDC Language Resource Database: Building a Bibliographic Database
The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) creates and provides language resources (LRs) including data, tools and specifications.
Twenty Years of Language Resource Development and Distribution: A Progress Report on LDC Activities
