Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure

FIN-CLARIAH is a research infrastructure for Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) comprising two components, FIN-CLARIN and DARIAH-FI. In the current project, FIN-CLARIAH seeks to significantly upgrade the SSH infrastructural support in four directions using large language models (LLM) and AI: 1) to enable the processing of spoken minority language data, 2) to provide tools for a broad range of SSH research processing unstructured text, 3) to facilitate research in audio-visual culture by processing metadata, 4) to support transformer technology adaptation by SSH researchers. While FIN-CLARIN continues to break new ground in supporting research based on language data, DARIAH-FI will develop infrastructure for big, heterogeneous datasets for research in the humanities and social sciences. An important additional aim of the current project is to develop a best common practice for utilizing LLMs and AI for assisting SSH researchers to speed up various stages of the research process.
