Red Yam: Multilingual Storyboards for Semantic Fieldwork

One of five storyboards created by Kilu von Prince for the MelaTAMP project at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The package contains 20 PDF picture files, a compiled storyboard with English subtitles, and source files in SVG and TeX formats. It is published under a CC BY 4.0 license and targets epistemic possibilities and indicative conditionals.

Use Cases

• Analyzing narrative structures and conditional statements based on the storyboard content.
• Training or evaluating models for multilingual text generation based on the parallel subtitles in Bislama, Daakaka, and English.
• Studying visual-semantic relationships based on the individual picture files and their compiled story.
• Creating derivative educational or research materials based on the openly licensed source SVG files.

Strengths

• Includes 20 individual picture files, providing visual narrative components.
• Offers multilingual subtitles in three languages: Bislama, Daakaka, and English.
• Provides source SVG files, allowing for modification and reuse of visual elements.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
