Use of the Dutch POLYPHONE corpus for application development

Abstract

The paper gives a short description of the creation of the Dutch POLYPHONE corpus. It then proceeds to show how that corpus has already been put to use in the development of a number of practical applications and how it is used for research purposes. Applications that are touched upon include a fully automatic train time table information system and the automation of collect call and phone card calls. The paper concludes with remarks on and recommendations for future corpus development.<>
