*ELRA announces that MEDIA data are now available for free for academic
research *
Further to the request of the HLT French community to foster evaluation
activities for man-machine dialogue systems for French language, ELRA
has decided to provide a free access to the MEDIA speech corpora and
evaluation package for academic research purposes.
The MEDIA data can be found in the ELRA Catalogue under the following
references:
* _*ELRA-E0024 MEDIA Evaluation Package
<http://catalog.elra.info/en-us/repository/browse/ELRA-E0024>*_<http://catalog.elra.info/en-us/repository/browse/ELRA-E0024>_**_
* _*ELRA-S0272 MEDIA speech database for French
<http://catalog.elra.info/en-us/repository/browse/ELRA-S0272/>*
_
* _*ELRA-S0371 PortMedia French and Italian corpus
<http://catalog.elra.info/en-us/repository/browse/ELRA-S0371/>*
_
Data available from the ELRA Catalogue can be obtained easily by
contacting ELRA.
The *MEDIA* project was carried out within the framework of
Technolangue, the French national research programme funded by the
French Ministry of Research and New Technologies (MRNT) with the
objective of running a campaign for the evaluation of man-machine
dialogue systems for French. The campaign was distributed over two
actions: an evaluation taking into account the dialogue context and an
evaluation not taking into account the dialogue context.
*PortMedia *was a follow up project supported by the French Research
Agency (ANR). The French and Italian corpus was produced by ELDA, with
the same paradigm and specifications as the MEDIA speech database but on
a different domain.
