We’re excited to announce that our project DialektDetect has been nominated for the Citizen Science Award by the OeAD!
After training an AI model to predict where in Austria a dialect recording originates, we’re turning the tables — can humans do it better? In this interactive project, school classes and youth groups are invited to listen to short audio clips of dialect speakers and guess their origin on a map. Participants will also highlight the part of the recording that influenced their decision the most.
Take part online and compete for prize money of 1,000€, 750€, or 500€! To participate with your class/youth group write an email to lorenz.gutscher@ofai.at to receive your class code, which you will need to take part in the challenge.
