“…Despite being a more delicate task, spoken dialect identification received comparatively lower attention, most of it being devoted to dialect identification for widely spoken languages, such as English [8], Chinese [9], and Arabic [10,11,12]. Spoken dialect identification for low-resource languages, such as Swiss German [13,14] and Finnish [15], has remained relatively underexplored. Different from prior studies, we focus on spoken language identification in Romanian, a low-resource language characterized by its intricate dialectal variations within the country of Romania.…”

“…This has led to a growing need for resources on low-resource languages. Considering dialect identification datasets across different languages, we can distinguish between two types of resources: text-based datasets [20,21,22,23,24] and speechbased datasets [10,11,12,13,14,15]. While various languages have benefited from text-based resources that leverage written materials capturing linguistic variations, the auditory dimension of dialects adds an intricate layer of complexity.…”

“…Text data, although valuable, might not fully encapsulate the nuanced phonetic and prosodic characteristics that are pivotal in dialect differentiation. In contrast to text datasets, audio datasets [10,11,12,13,14] offer a more holistic representation, capturing not only the lexical disparities, but also the subtle intonations and accents inherent in speech.…”

The presentation I am submitting to your attention focuses on how the University of Bucharest operated during the 1980’s, a very difficult period for Romania. As to be expected, the University of Bucharest, like the entire Romanian education system, took the full blow of communist experimental policies, reflecting quite accurately the general developments of the political system in Romania in the 1980s. The structure of Bucharest University, the curriculum, acceptance of the students via admission exams as well as the process of assignment of graduates from University of Bucharest to production units in the 1980’s, are aspects of university life which were all affected by profound changes during the period subject to the research, leading to a genuine phenomenon in the Romanian society. The way these changes were reflected in the cultural mindset and the traumas generated by them are all points of interest addressed in my presentation.
