HomeBank: A Repository for Long-Form Real-World Audio Recordings of Children
نویسندگان
چکیده
HomeBank is a new component of the TalkBank system, focused on long-form (i.e., multi-hour, typically daylong) realworld recordings of children’s language experiences, and it is linked to a GitHub repository in which tools for analyzing those recordings can be shared. HomeBank constitutes not only a rich resource for researchers interested in early language acquisition specifically, but also for those seeking to study spontaneous speech, media exposure, and audio environments more generally. This Show and Tell describes the procedures for accessing and contributing HomeBank data and code. It also overviews the current contents of the repositories, and provides some examples of audio recordings, available transcriptions, and currently available analysis tools.

متن کاملAn Audio Wiki for Building Local Repositories of Knowledge in the Developing World
Mobile phone technology has spread across the globe, especially in developing countries where the usage of mobile phones far exceeds that of desktop computers. Here we describe the idea of an Audio Wiki, a localized repository of information that can be accessed using the mobile phone. We aim to create systems that provide users with information in the form of audio recordings of other users’ e...
متن کاملDublin Core Metadata Initiative
The Internet--and particularly its collection of multimedia resources known as the World Wide Web--was not designed to support the organized publication and retrieval of information, as libraries are. It has evolved into what might be thought of as a chaotic repository for the collective output of the world’s digital "printing presses." This storehouse of information contains not only books and...
