ELRA is happy to announce that 1 new Speech Resource, produced within the
Technolangue programme, is now available in its catalogue.

ELRA-S0272 MEDIA speech database for French 

The MEDIA speech database for French was produced by ELDA within the French
national project MEDIA (Automatic evaluation of man-machine dialogue
systems), as part of the Technolangue programme funded by the French
Ministry of Research and New Technologies (MRNT). It contains 1,258
transcribed dialogues from 250 adult speakers. The method chosen for the
corpus construction process is that of a 'Wizard of Oz' (WoZ) system. This
consists of simulating a natural language man-machine dialogue. The
scenario was built in the domain of tourism and hotel reservation. The
semantic annotation of the corpus is available in this catalogue and
referenced ELRA-E0024 (MEDIA Evaluation Package).

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help keep 
the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2008 LINGUIST List Circus and join us on our many shows!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2008/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:
http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
