      Data products

      In our research projects at the FHNW Institute of Data Science, we are generating a variety of data products.

      Some of them are freely available. This concerns data archives, data sets for machine learning and tools that support the access to data as well as their investigation and analysis: user interfaces, image processing and machine learning algorithms or data visualization software.

      Open data products are created in the context of publicly funded research in solar physics, for example. Projects in the fields of speech recognition or word processing also generate scientific data products that are freely available to all and can be used for further investigations.

      The only exception concerns products that are subject to data protection regulations or non-disclosure agreements with customers.

      Freely available data products

      The Swiss Parliaments Corpus (SPC) is an automatically aligned Swiss German speech to Standard German text corpus. More specifically, it is a collection of sentence-level audio-text pairs. The current version of the corpus is based on publicly available data of the Bernese cantonal parliament and consists of 293 hours of data.
