Towards a large corpus of spoken dialogue in French that will be freely available: the “Parole Publique” project and its first realisations

Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)

Abstract

This paper presents two corpora (OTG et ECOLE_MASSY) which are the first delivery of the Parole_Publique (in English : Public Speech) project held by the VALORIA laboratory. This project aims at the achievement of a large corpus (orthographic transcription and morpho-syntactic annotation) of spoken French dialogues. It is primarily intended for researches on man-machine communication and will gather various types (human-human, Wizard of Oz, man-machine) of dialogues restricted to several specific tasks. The Parole Publique corpus will be freely distributed on the WWW.
