A large amount of spontaneous speech data is required for research on various themes in speech studies such as speech analysis, speech recognition systems, and natural language processing in recent years. However, it is difficult to collect spontaneous speech data, and few corpora of spontaneous speech are available. Considering the diversity of speech in real-world situations, the data remain insufficient. We show the characteristics of spontaneous Japanese speech corpora gathered and distributed by two organizations: the Speech Resources Consortium at the National Institute of Informatics, and the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics. Then, we describe prospects for the development of spontaneous speech resources.}, pages = {1--5}, publisher = {Center for Corpus Development, National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics}, title = {Spontaneous speech resources in Japan}, year = {2018} }
