Schiel 08/09/95 - 08/11/95 This corpus is the re-distribution of the original ERBA corpus that was first distributed in 1992. It contains a collection of over 10.000 different utterances in a certain task domain (train inquiries) of over 100 speakers. ERBA Corpus -- Description The corpus is divided into two parts: the part called 'ERBA' (Volumes 1-4, 101 speakers) contains the vast amount of data (usually used for training). The part called 'TEST' (Volume 4, 5 speakers) contains 100 utterances disjunctive to 'ERBA' but from the same task domain (usually used for testing). 5 sessions of the 'TEST' corpus were recorded under the same conditions as 'ERBA'. 5 sessions (by the same speakers) were recorded over a public phone line. Thus resulting in 1000 recorded utterances. The different parts are marked by different root directories on the volumes (ERBA and TEST). The lexicon given on each volume under 'ERBA' covers both corpora. ERBA Corpus - Media The corpus consists of 4 volumes, total size 1818 MB (483,498,441,396) uncompressed data. The volumes are stored on CDROM with ISO 9660 format. ERBA Corpus - Validation The corpus passed the usual BAS validation procedure. Evaluations are given in the file BASEVAL in this directory. Any changes to original documentations are marked with 'BAS:' at the beginning of the line (except minor errors).
