CARE: Accessible Lanaguage Resources for Research and Education

这个项目建立在一个长期努力的基础上，创建和分发一套全面的工具，用于研究和开发口语系统。到目前为止，这项工作已经产生了大量用于研究的语音语料库，并产生了一个用于创作和使用口语系统的便携式软件环境。正在考虑的CARE项目包括系统和语料库的持续改进，以及一些新方向的增强。将进行的三项新工作是：制定评价互动系统新技术的评价标准、编制新的青年讲话者语料库和编制关于在研究和教育中使用工具包的培训材料。

This project builds upon a long-term effort to create and distribute a comprehensive set of tools for research and development of spoken language systems. The effort has so far produced a large collection of speech corpora that are used in research, and has produced a portable software environment for authoring and using spoken language systems. The CARE project under consideration includes continuous envolutionary improvement of the systems and corpora, along with enhancements in some new directions. Three new lines of work that will be pursued are the establishment of evaluation criteria for evaluating new technologies in interactive systems, development of a new corpus of speech of young speakers, and development of training materials covering use of the toolkit in research and education.
