Introduction
2001 HUB5 Mandarin Transcripts was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains transcripts for 20 CALLHOME Mandarin telephone conversations representing approximately eight hours of audio.
The corresponding speech files for these transcripts are available in 2001 HUB5 Mandarin Evaluation (LDC2002S12).
The 2001 HUB5 Mandarin Evaluation is part of an ongoing series of periodic evaluations conducted by NIST. These evaluations provide an important contribution to the direction of research efforts and the calibration of technical capabilities. They are intended to be of interest to all researchers working on the general problem of conversational speech recognition. To this end the evaluation was designed to be simple, to focus on core speech technology issues, to be fully supported, and to be accessible.
The evaluation was held from February 21 - March 12, 2001. The systems were to produce character-level transcripts and character-level confidence scores for the complete set of evaluation test material.
The CALLHOME Mandarin corpus of telephone speech was collected and transcribed by LDC primarily in support of the project on Large Vocabulary Conversational Speech Recognition (LVCSR), sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Data
There are 20 data files in .txt format.
The .txt files are transcript files rendered in Mandarin script orthography, containing the orthographic forms that were used in the original transcription process. These forms also serve as the head-words in the associated CALLHOME Mandarin Lexicon (LDC96L15).
