While the process of data collection can be expedited by making use of publicly available data\, it can be time consuming to annotate and label the large amounts of data needed to train a high accuracy model.\n\nAnnotation tools for audio data\, especially sp eech data\, are currently very limited. This talk explores the development of a tool that takes a novel ‘semi-automated’ approach to speech audi o annotation. This new approach streamlines the normally monotonous proces s of manual annotation\, by creating a modular system and graphical interf ace. It combines manual human annotation with automated annotation that le verages a mixture of technologies\, including pre-trained models\, existin g speech-recognition APIs\, and model training-inference loops.\n\nThe tal k will discuss the concepts and building blocks of such a semi-automated p ipeline for data annotation.

ECHO includes compliance data on air\, w ater\, and hazardous waste laws for all facilities. Data should serve comm unities and not just corporate polluters. Communities should be able to ha ve more resources for collecting and analysing environmental data while re taining the power to decide what they can do with their data. We wrote cod e using GeoPandas\, NumPy\, MatPlotLib\, and Seaborn libraries to generate reports based on the data. Users simply run the notebook to generate a re port for their area of interest. We have Notebooks set up to generate seve ral different types of reports: analyzing inspections\, violations\, enfor cement actions\, and greenhouse gas emissions by zip-code\, congressional district\, or watershed\; or investigating a company\, location\, or facil ity of concern across regulatory statutes. The data visualizations also ex plore environmental racism -- the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on people of color. By making environmental compliance data more accessible and pliable through our Jupyter Notebooks\, and supplementing t he numbers with storytelling\, data visualization\, and socio-political co ntextualization\, we highlight the chronic issue of industrial violations\ , the state enforcement activities in areas of interest to our partners\, unaddressed inadequacies of legal emissions standards in protecting public health\, and levers of political action and collaboration available to ad dress these issues. The goal of this project is to use the power of Jupyte r Notebooks to visualize publicly available data in a way that encourages folks to hold the government and industries accountable.
