Dense corpora

[Michael C. Frank]

Hi all,

Just to clear up a bit of confusion in previous messages: the Human Speechome
Project is Deb Roy's work, as noted. It is a longitudinal corpus (there is only
one) capturing approximately 70% of speech heard by his child in the period from
9 - 24 months, as well as overhead video of activity throughout the house.
Transcription is getting towards two thirds complete right now, but there are
many privacy issues with such a dense set of recordings, so the transcripts are
not currently available.

For more info, here are some preliminary reports that describe the corpus and
ask a few questions about caregiver speech and word learning:

best,

Mike

The last one should actually be Deb Roy. In addition to his own child's
data, he also has the ongoing Speechome project, but I think it will be a
while before either corpus is completely transcribed.
