GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Transcripts Part 2

<h3>Introduction</h3> <p>GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Transcripts Part 2 was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains transcriptions of approximately 128 hours of Arabic broadcast conversation speech collected in 2007 by LDC, MediaNet, Tunis, Tunisia and MTC, Rabat, Morocco during Phase 2 of the DARPA GALE (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation) program.</p> <p>Corresponding audio data is released as GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Speech Part 2 (<a href="http://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2013S07" rel="nofollow">LDC2013S07</a>).</p> <p>The source broadcast conversation recordings feature interviews, call-in programs and round table discussions focusing principally on current events from the following sources: Abu Dhabi TV (based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates), Al Alam News Channel (based in Iran), Al Arabiya (a news television station based in Dubai), Aljazeera (a regional broadcaster located in Doha, Qatar), Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (a Lebanese television station), Oman TV (a national broadcaster located in the Sultanate of Oman), Saudi TV (a national television station based in Saudi Arabia) and Syria TV, the national television station in Syria.</p> <h3>Data</h3> <p>The transcript files are in plain-text, tab-delimited format (TDF) with UTF-8 encoding, and the transcribed data totals 763,945 tokens. The transcripts were created with the LDC-developed transcription tool, XTrans, a multi-platform, multilingual, multi-channel transcription tool that supports manual transcription and annotation of audio recordings. XTrans is available from the following link, <a href="http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/tools/XTrans/downloads/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/tools/XTrans/downloads/</a>. </p> <p>The files in this corpus were transcribed by LDC staff and/or by transcription vendors under contract to LDC. Transcribers followed LDCs quick transcription guidelines (QTR) and quick rich transcription specification (QRTR) both of which are included in the documentation with this release. QTR transcription consists of quick (near-)verbatim, time-aligned transcripts plus speaker identification with minimal additional mark-up. It does not include sentence unit annotation. QRTR annotation adds structural information such as topic boundaries and manual sentence unit annotation to the core components of a quick transcript. Files with QTR as part of the filename were developed using QTR transcription. Files with QRTR in the filename indicate QRTR transcription.</p> <p>LDC has also released GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Speech Part 1 (<a href="http://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2013S02" rel="nofollow">LDC2013S02</a> ) and GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Transcripts Part 1 (<a href="http://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2013T04" rel="nofollow">LDC2013T04</a>).</p> <h3>Samples</h3> <p>Please view the following <a href="./desc/addenda/LDC2013T17.jpg" rel="nofollow">transcript sample</a>.</p> <h3>Updates</h3> <p> None at this time. </p> <h3>Acknowledgement</h3> <p>This work was supported in part by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, GALE Program Grant No. HR0011-06-1-0003.
