Each of these scripts have their own cheatsheet to help you get started with the data available for the respective corpus.

Setup

We prepared for you three environments that you can directly install (in Anaconda Prompt) using


cd Address-of-summerschol-folder
conda env create -f NAME-OF-ENVIRONMENT.yml

If you want to work with Envisionhgdetector, use detector-environment.yml (summerschool-detector-env)

If you want to work with OpenFace, use kinematics-environment.yml (summerschool-kinematics-env)

For all else (continuous acoustics, Opensmile), use general-environmt.yml (summerschool-general-env)

Feel free to install new packages to any of your newly created environments using


conda activate NAME-OF-ENVIRONMENT
pip install PACKAGE-NAME
