Development and Evaluation of an Italian Broadcast News Corpus
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)
Abstract
This paper reports on the development and evaluation of an Italian broadcast news corpus at ITC-irst, under a contract with the Euro-pean Language resources Distribution Agency (ELDA). The corpus consists of 30 hours of recordings transcribed and annotated with conventions similar to those adopted by the Linguistic Data Consortium for the DARPA HUB-4 corpora. The corpus will be completed and released to ELDA by April 2000.
