Katarzyna Klessa & Jolanta Bachan. 2008 (Linguistics U Poznan, Poland): An investigation into the intra- and inter-labeller agreement in the JURISDIC database at SASR 2008, 8-12 September 2008, Piechowice, Poland
ABSTRACT
- This paper reports on the labeller agreement examination in the annotation of the JURISDIC Polish speech database. One recording session (355 utterances, read and spontaneous speech) was annotated twice by four labellers: in the first step the task was to annotate the data based only on listening to the recordings, in the second step the annotators were additionally provided with the prompt command and the orthographic input text available originally for the speaker. The authors look at the influence of the input text on the annotation process. The annotation files are compared as regards to the number and type of noise labels, special events labels, spelling and segmentation differences both among labellers and also for each of the labellers individually.
