The LaTeCH Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities annual workshop series aims to provide a forum for researchers who are working on aspects of natural language and information technology applications that pertain to data from the humanities, social sciences, and cultural heritage.
The LaTeCH workshops were initially motivated by the growing interest in language technology research and applications for the cultural heritage domain. The scope has soon nevertheless broadened to also include the humanities and the social sciences.
Language tools and resources for analysis of less-elaborated languages are in the focus of our workshop. There are still research tracks which still do not sufficiently and effectively exploit language technology solutions, and there are many languages for which the available tools and resources still have to be developed to serve as a basis of further applications.
The presentation introduces a set of morphological tools for small and endangered Uralic languages. Various Hungarian research groups specialized in Finno-Ugric linguistics and a Hungarian language technology company Morpho-Logic have initiated a project with the goal of producing annotated electronic corpora and computational morphological tools for small Uralic languages, like Mordvin, Udmurt Votyak , Komi Zyryan , Mansi Vogul , Khanty Ostyak , Nenets Yurak and Nganasan Tavgi.
Altogether around a dozen Uralic languages totaling some 3. Preface Big cultural heritage data present an unprecedented opportunity for the humanities that is reshaping conventional research methods.
