The participation of the Speech Processing Laboratory at MSU (Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering) in this project allows the
development of a robust search capability. The great weakness of most
sound data collections is the need to use transcripts to navigate at a
detailed level. As the projects develops, users will
benefit from a search capability that will allow identification of key
words, concepts and names. In collaboration with the Robust Speech
Processing Laboratory at Duke University, we will work to develop
solutions to the challenge of enabling keyword, topic, speaker, and
language searches of the sound files themselves. This search facility will
help make the site much friendlier for users in all of our target
categories.
