Swissdox@LIRI
Swissdox@LiRI: The ETH Library supports the cooperation between Swissdox and the Linguistic Research Infrastructure (LiRI) of the University of Zurich. A text corpus is available that consists of around 29 million press articles from print and online media, as well as transcripts and subtitle stocks of radio and TV broadcasts. It covers several decades and is updated daily with 5,000 to 6,000 new press articles, primarily from the German- and French-speaking parts of Switzerland. In addition to the options of classical descriptive, inferential, explorative or context-based data analysis, Swissdox@LiRI is also suitable as raw material for big data analyses and for training algorithms or neural networks.
