Computational analysis of child language transcript data

总结 儿童语言数据交换系统项目旨在扩大和 通过提供新的方法来加深我们对语言发展的科学认识， 分析真实的世界面对面的互动。计算工具， 项目前几个阶段制定的主要方法 第一次自发使用的发展新的实证研究的基础 语言这项工作已发表了8000多篇文章，研究各个方面 包括单词学习、语音学习、语法学习 发展和沟通发展。所有的程序和数据集都是 通过网络免费提供给研究人员。数据库已被 使用这些工具收集的数据现在是最大的口语数据库 anywhere.然而，我们可以通过以下方式实现更高的效率和分析精度： 构建更强大的计算工具。该项目的下一阶段将 开发新技术，以支持语言研究中的分析方法 发展这些方法包括快速的计算机辅助转录 互动，日记的一整天的录音在家里，自动 分析形态和句法结构，一个简单的搜索用户界面， 基于网络的支持研究小组之间的合作评论，建设 标准比较组规范，以及在不同 替代分析的程序。此外，我们会推广使用资料库 通过构建基于网络的教程，通过提高当前用户的 接口，并通过举办讲习班和在会议上介绍。

Summary The Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES) Project seeks to broaden and deepen our scientific understanding of language development by providing new ways of analyzing real world face-to-face interactions. The computational tools that had been developed in the previous phases of the project constitute the primary methodological basis for new empirical research on the development of spontaneous use of a first language. This work has resulted in over 8000 published articles examining all aspects of language development, including word learning, sound learning, grammatical development, and communicative development. All of the programs and data sets are provided over the web without charge to researchers. The database that has been collected using these tools is now the largest spoken language database available anywhere. However, we can achieve still greater efficiency and analytic precision by building even more powerful computational tools. The next phase of this project will develop new techniques to support analytic methods in the study of language development. These methods include rapid computer-assisted transcription of interactions, diarization of daylong audio recordings made in the home, automatic analysis of morphological and syntactic structures, a simple user interface for searches, web-based support for collaborative commentary between research groups, construction of standard comparison group norms, and methods for moving data between different programs for alternative analyses. In addition, we will promote the use of the database and programs by constructing web-based tutorials, by improving the current user interface, and by conducting workshops and presentations at conferences.
