Notes from our Data Sharing Satellite Event @IAFPA2018 are now online, along with pdf versions of some of the presentations from the event.

The event sparked some interesting discussions from both #forensic and #sociophonetic approaches.

You have a fantastic set of presentations lined up!

Post lunch talk by @J_Wormald & @VinceH_Forensic on potential data sharing solutions

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Q & A: time spent looking for data when doing casework is about a 15 hour window.

Time constraints mean that practitioners are restricted to using data they can find quickly. The benefit of working in a larger environment is the ability to share knowledge within the team.

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Q & A: discussions surrounding the simulation and manipulation of studio quality data, as packages are available to simulate package loss, degrade recordings, add noise ETC. but this does not create a realistic recording (no Lombard effect, bandwidth differences etc.)

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Q & A session: @VinceH_Forensic raises the requirement for evidence to have comparable values across forensic fields in order to assist the jurors understand the decisions they are making.

The only way forward is for more validation and more data to be available.

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Interesting point raised by @J_Wormald on the different challenges the requirements for cross-linguistic data brings to the field, as multilingualism becomes more prevalent.

Different population data needs are emerging.

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Limitations in casework : typicality judgements use existing research. If the data isn't available then an expert must use their own judgements and expertise.

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Next up we have Dr Jessica Wormald @J_Wormald discussing what data is used for and how it is applied in casework.

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Q&A sessions introduce the challenge that GDPR brings to the role of data sharing. Particularly the right to be forgotten.

@jhstuartsmith highlights the responsibilities of all parties involved, including the participant.

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Funded research projects since DyViS

Cheeky bit of self promo for the @WYRED_Project

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

ESRC requirement to use the UK Data Service to host speech databases.

If using other routes, consider how much post-release support and administration is involved, are the resources available?

[WYRED @WYRED_Project]

Thank you to all present at the WYRED Data Sharing Satellite Workshop to #IAFPA2018. Notes from the event will be available online.

Dr Kirsty McDougall starts with a breakdown of DyViS. From concept through collation to completion.

And that marks the end of my long week in Huddersfield! Thank you @IAFPA2018 for such an interesting conference in Forensic acoustics! I have learned a great deal for my own research in understanding voice recognition! @IAFPAtweets #IAFPA2018
