<pre wrap="">Hello:
I'm developing a project for rapid identification and categorization of
audio news clips, with a "target communities" focus. Are there any public
corpora available that consist of individual audio news stories of recent
vintage? (last 5-10 years)
I'd also be interested in corresponding with any members of the list who are
developing content categorization strategies for such audio content. For
example, if there are any members of the list who are involved with the
NewsML project, I'd like to hear from them.
