MAVA Cluster in collaboration with SDSC
MAVA Cluster stands for "Multimodal Audio-Visual Analysis Cluster for Infrastructure Interoperability and Data Exchange". This is a project lead by Dr. Teodora Vukovic, in collaboration with Prof. Josephine Diecke, Dr. Cristina Grisot (all affiliated with University of Zurich), and Prof. Ralph Ewerth, Leibniz Information Center for Science and Technology (TIB).
This project is closely related to the LiRI Corpus Platform.
Project abstract: The MAVA Cluster aims to improve the interoperability and data exchange among three research tools - VideoScope (as part of LCP), TIB-AV-A, and VIAN. By standardizing data formats and developing shared APIs, the project will enhance data sharing and analysis capabilities across linguistic, media studies, and audiovisual research. This infrastructure will, for the first time, enable shared research workflows and ensure adherence to FAIR principles, enhancing the accessibility and resuability of research data.
The project's integration with the CLARIN infrastructure will align it with European research standards, significantly aiding the research community's ability to handle complex multimodal datasets.
Collaborating institutions are:
- SDSC, Swiss Data Science Center
- Linguistic Research Infrastructure, University of Zurich
- Department of Film Studies, University of Zurich
- Technische Informationsbibliothek, Leibniz University Hannover, TIB AV-Analytics
