Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2012)
Abstract
In this paper we describe the goals of the Estonian corpus collection and analysis activities, and introduce the recent collection of Estonian First Encounters data. The MINT project aims at deepening our understanding of the conversational properties and practices in human interactions. We especially investigate conversational engagement and cooperation, and discuss some observations on the participants' views concerning the interaction they have been engaged.
