Annotating Communication Problems Using the MATE Workbench
نویسندگان
چکیده
The increasing commercialisation and sophistication of language engineering products reinforces the need for tools and standards in support of a more cost-effective development and evaluation process than has been possible so far. This paper presents results of the MATE project which was launched in response to the need for standards and tools in support of creating, annotating, evaluating and exploiting spoken language resources. Focusing on the MATE workbench, we illustrate its functionality and usability through its use for markup of communication problems.

The MATE Workbench Annotation Tool, a Technical Description
The MATE workbench is a tool which aims to simplify the tasks of annotating, displaying and querying speech or text corpora. It is designed to help humans create language resources, and to make it easier for different groups to use one another’s data, by providing one tool which can be used with many different annotation schemes. Any annotation scheme which can be converted to XML can be used w...
متن کاملThe Mate Workbench - a tool for annotating XML corpora
This paper describes the design and implementation of the MATE workbench, a program which provides support for flexible display and editing of XML annotations, and complex querying of a set of linked files. The workbench was designed to support the annotation of XML coded linguistic corpora, but it could be used to annotate any kind of data, as it is not dependent on any particular annotation s...
متن کاملThe MATE workbench - An annotation tool for XML coded speech corpora
This paper describes the design and implementation of the MATE workbench, a program which provides support for the annotation of speech and text. It provides facilities for flexible display and editing of such annotations, and complex querying of a resulting corpus. The workbench offers a more flexible approach than most existing annotation tools, which were often designed with a specific annot...
متن کاملThe MATE Workbench –
The increasing variety and sophistication of spoken language dialogue systems (SLDSs) emphasises the need for tools in support of their development and evaluation as well as for appropriate evaluation criteria. In this paper we describe how the MATE workbench can be used during SLDSs development to efficiently produce corpus-based information on SLDSs and their components. The information retri...
متن کاملThe NITE Workbench for Annotating Natural Interactive Behaviour
This paper addresses the emergence of much-needed general-purpose natural interactivity coding tools. In particular, the NITE (Natural Interactivity Tools Engineering) project is currently completing three toolsets for the annotation and analysis of natural interactive communication data. The tools share a common requirements specification but are otherwise quite different. The paper briefly pr...
