<p>Alveo is a platform for data discovery and analysis focused on communication data such as speech, text or video. Developed by the University of Western Sydney, researchers can use the Alveo infrastructure to store data, create collections, develop workflows, and analyze datasets with Alveo's built-in tools. The tools available span multiple disciplines and include common functions such as tokenization and concordance, plus interfaces between Alveo and other common analysis tools such as Apache's UIMA for NLP, and with programming languages such as Python and Java. Users can segmented and recombined data from multiple collections into a new, focused dataset for close analysis. Collection creators can set their own license and access rights, and users of a collection must accept the creator's conditions in order to use data from it. User accounts are free, but must be requested from and approved by Alveo.</p>
