…but don't worry about your parliamentary text input during this time: already tomorrow, @lukashetzer.bsky.social and @chrauh.bsky.social will be giving an introduction to our new #parllawspeech dataset at @comptext.bsky.social \3

For the first time in 10 years, no #parlspeech / #parllawspeech / #parl_projectos_nuevos_speech scraper will be running on my laptop for 6 months… \2

Super excited to be part of the #TaDa Speaker Series presenting #ParlLawSpeech and how we use it in our own research together with @janschwalbach.bsky.social!

ParlLawSpeech also provides high-quality translations of speeches from the European Parliament 🇪🇺 and the Hungarian National Assembly 🇭🇺 into English. Learn more on our website at ParlLawSpeech.org/data and the respective GitHub page (github.com/ChRauh/OPTED...).
