Abstract |
In this contribution we announce and describe in detail the new multimodal corpus evolving from the publicly funded German SmartKom project. The first release of the corpus (BAS SK-P 1.0) has been finished end of 2001 and will be ready for distribution to the scientific community in July 2002. The SmartKom corpus will be the first of a new generation of Language Resources (LR) designed for a more or less complete data gathering of human-machine communication combining acoustic, visual and tactile input and output modalities. Since the funding of about EU 2 Mio for this LR is 100% public, the corpus will be available without royalties via the Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals (BAS) at the University of Munich. |
