Comparing VOICE Awards with other corpora
With a sum of 1970 dialogs, the VOICE Awards Corpus is
the biggest existing German human-machine-dialog
corpus. It combines the advantages of several other
corpora, like Verbmobil, which relies on dialogs, but is a
human-human dialog corpus or Smartweb, which also is a
huge human-machine corpus, but contains queries and no
dialogs. Besides, the VOICE Awards Corpus is the only
human-machine-dialog corpus which is annotated with dialog
acts and many other informations, such as miscommunication
and success measures.
