Abstract

Recent years have seen an increased interest in and availability of many different kinds of corpora. These range from small, but carefully annotated treebanks to large parallel corpora and very large monolingual corpora for big data research. It remains a challenge to offer flexible and powerful query tools for multilayer annotations of small corpora. When dealing with large corpora, query tools also need to scale in terms of processing speed and reporting through statistical information and visualization options. This becomes evident, for example, when dealing with very large corpora (such as complete Wikipedia corpora) or multi-parallel corpora (such as Europarl or JRC Acquis). The QueryVis workshop has gathered researchers who develop and evaluate new corpus query and visualization tools for linguistics, language technology and related disciplines. The papers focus on the design of query languages, and on various new visualization options for monolingual and parallel corpora, both for written and spoken language.
