Annotation of a Multichannel Noisy Speech Corpus

Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)

Abstract

This paper describes the activity of annotation of an Italian corpus of in-car speech material, with specific reference to the JavaSgram tool, developed with the purpose of annotating multichannel speech corpora. Some pre/post processing tools used with JavaSgram are briefly described together with a synthetic description of the annotation criteria which were adopted. The final objective is that of using the resulting corpus for training and testing a hands-free speech recognizer under development.
