2. Steven Bird, SPECOM special issue: Speech Annotation and Corpus Tools

A few days ago, I posted an announcement (10.525, FYI: Summer
Course/Syntax & Semantics) with an important typo which I would like
to correct now. The actual course code for the summer course
"Linguistic Universals" is C3, and not B1. Such a correction is
crucial in order to ensure that students register in the right
course. Corrected registration forms follow. My apologies.

 ADVANCE ANNOUNCEMENT

 Special Issue of Speech Communication
 on Speech Annotation and Corpus Tools

 http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/annotation/specom.html



In recent years there has been an explosion of activity in the area of
annotated linguistic databases. A wide variety of formats and tools
have been developed; for an extensive set of web pointers, see 
[ http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/annotation ]. Hundreds of annotated speech
corpora have been published, and such corpora are finding uses in a
rapidly expanding set of disciplines.

In the majority of cases, annotated corpora and associated software
have been created without reference to other efforts in the area,
leading to a proliferation of incompatible tools and formats despite
the common conceptual core. There is a clear need for the
dissemination of existing work and open discussion of the issues it
raises, ultimately leading to consensus about formats and the creation
of general purpose tools.

Speech Communication [ http://www.elsevier.com/locate/specom ] will
sponsor a special issue on speech annotation and tools for developing
and interrogating speech corpora, to be edited by Steven Bird and
Jonathan Harrington. Information about deadlines will be circulated
once it is available. In the meantime, please visit the page for the
special issue:

 http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/annotation/specom.html

Please bookmark this page and/or sign up for the mailing list to be
sure of receiving subsequent announcements.
