pixar's efforts at kid's speech recognition

[Elika Bergelson]

Hi,
  Just thought the CHILDES list might find this article of interest:

http://www.wired.com/2014/09/toytalk/

It's about Pixar's big library of child speech, and their efforts at
automated child speech recognition. Something tells me they won't be up for
sharing it...
" Now, ToyTalk has a trove of some 20 million children’s utterances, which
Jacob believes is the largest database of kids conversation in the world.
The data is anonymized, and parents must give their consent via email
before kids can play, but once they do, that data belongs to ToyTalk. "

best,
Elika
