Files collected by the sites are uploaded to a secure cloud storage system. Raw files are separated into combined audio, diarized audio, and video files, which are sent to feature processing services or servers to produce transcripts, acoustic analyses, and facial analyses. The results of quality checks, conducted at the initial submission of the files to the data aggregate server and later, after the files are processed for features, are sent to the data visualization platform DPdash for QA/QC monitoring. Finalized files are sent to the NIMH data archive (NDA), which conducts the final curating of the data prior to releasing it to the collaboration server for further analysis, and to the general research community.
