EAT-ALL

EAT corpus containing three groups of channels: PSTN, MIC16K and GSM was stored in three DVD discs. PSTN and GSM corpora were stored in the same DVD disc which is label as “PSTN +GSM”. Because the sampling rate of MIC16K speech data was high, the resulting storage requirement was huge. We stored MIC16K speech in two DVD discs labeled by “Mic16K English” and “Mic16K NonEnglish” for English Department and non-English Department, respectively.

AESOP-ILAS (Asian English Speech cOrpus Project - Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica) Corpora

  • Database Name：AESOP-ILAS (Asian English Speech cOrpus Project - Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica) Corpora
  • Database Brief

The AESOP-ILAS speech corpus is especially designed for the Taiwan division of the multinational research project AESOP (Asian English Speech Corpus Project), featuring L2 English speech by native speakers of Taiwan Mandarin. The principal investigator of this project is Dr. Chiu-yu TSENG, Distinguished Research Fellow and Director of the Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica. The project aims to build up a corpus of the English spoken in Taiwan as an open resource and to investigate a wide range of communicative phonetic and prosodic features in Taiwan L2 English at the segmental, lexical, phrasal, and discourse levels, rather than focusing on specific and individual phenomena. It should be useful for research and development in language teaching, language modeling, phonetic research and applications to speech synthesis and recognition.

AESOP-ILAS is released in April, 2015 for use of non-commercial academic research only. ACLCLP is authorized to release it. Applicants are supposed to apply by signing the license agreement and complying with the terms on the license agreement. 

Documents required:

National Education Radio Corpus (NER)

  • Database Name：National Education Radio Corpus (NER)
  • Database Brief (PDF)
Taiwanese Mandarin has many notable differences from Putonghua in China, such as writing system, pronunciation, accent, wording, and vocabulary. Many of the differences can be attributed to the influences from Taiwanese, Hakka, Formosan, Dutch and Japanese languages. Therefore, it is well understood that a Taiwanese-specific automatic speech recognition (ASR) system is required for better speech-enabled human-computer interaction in Taiwanese people’s daily life.
Therefore, we had built the National Education Radio (NER) corpus which is a real-life, multi-genre and spontaneous Taiwanese Mandarin broadcast speech corpus with manual transcription from the digital archive of Taiwan’s National Education Radio. NER is the largest Taiwanese Mandarin spoken corpus that has 21-volume, 3200-hour speech data. Besides, it is also the largest Chinese spoken text (instead of writing text) database with about 60 million traditional Chinese characters.
