| Challenge: | Finnish is a language with multiple dialects that differ in accent, morphological forms and lexical choice. |
| Approach: | They propose an approach to automatically detect the dialect of a speaker based on a transcript and transcript with audio recording in a dataset consisting of 23 different dialects. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves 57% accuracy, compared to 85% accuracy for text and audio. |

Combining Concepts and Their Translations from Structured Dictionaries of Uralic Minority Languages (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new method to expand the knowledge in existing dictionaries is proposed . small Uralic languages are facing a problem of limited language resources . |
| Approach: | They propose to combine conceptually divided translations from multilingual dictionaries for small Uralic languages into a single lexical entry. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be used to expand existing dictionaries and provide translations when adding new entries. |
Ve’rdd. Narrowing the Gap between Paper Dictionaries, Low-Resource NLP and Community Involvement (2020.coling-demos)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing tools for Skolt Sami are limited due to its pluricentric nature and limited resources. |
| Approach: | They propose to integrate community activities into a finite-state language description of a seriously endangered minority language, Skolt Sami. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system integrates with existing tools and infrastructures for Uralic language masking the technical complexities behind a user-friendly UI. |
