Introduction
CALLHOME Mandarin Chinese Transcripts was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains transcripts corresponding to approximately 38 hours of speech from 120 unscripted telephone conversations between native Mandarin Chinese speakers.
The CALLHOME series consists of telephone conversations, transcripts and lexicons developed by LDC and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, in support of research in speaker identification, language identification and related technologies. Languages in the series include American English, Egyptian Arabic, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.
Data
Transcripts were segmented following word segmentation principles for Mandarin Chinese described in the documentation accompanying this release. They cover a contiguous five-minute or ten-minute call segment, time-stamped by speaker turn for alignment with the speech signal encoded as "gb2312" (a.k.a. "euc-cn")..
Calls were manually audited for language, noise, recording quality, channel characteristics, dialect, and accent. Auditing information and other metadata (information on calls, speakers and demographics on call originators) are included in the documentation accompanying this release.
The corresponding conversational telephone speech dataset (LDC96S34) and an associated lexicon (LDC96L15) are available separately.
