[Corpora-List] CORPS: a corpus of political speeches tagged with audience reactions

[Marco Guerini]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to announce the release of  CORPS, a corpus of political
speeches tagged with specific audience reactions, such as APPLAUSE or
LAUGHTER.

This corpus has been collected relying on the hypothesis that tags
about public reaction are indicators of hot-spots of persuasion
dynamics. This corpus can be usefully employed in many fields such as,
for example:

- qualitative analysis of political communication.
- NLP based persuasive expression mining.
- Automatic production of persuasive communication

At present, there are about 900 speeches in the corpus (all native
English language) about 2.2 millions words and 20 thousand tags. The
corpus is freely available for research purposes; For further please
see: http://hlt.fbk.eu/corps

Best regards
Marco Guerini and Carlo Strapparava
