Reveal-This Corpus
This multimedia and multi-genre corpus contains videos of the plenary sessions and press conferences of the European Parliament in English and Greek, evening TV news programmes in the same languages which were aired the same day as the European Parliament events, and videos of travel documentaries and TV travel magazines in both languages.
The European Parliament plenary transmissions comprise a variety of viewing angles and a variety of number of people depicted; the press conferences involve the crowd of journalists, or one journalist asking a question and the sepaker who answers. The travel documentaries contain mainly seceneries with faces/people being present only in the form of a journalist/narrator of the documentary or as an example of the locals of a region.
The entire corpus contains read and spontaneous speech, as well as formal and colloquial languages.
The data amounts to approximately 80 hours of politics in each language, with 1/8 of this data being press-conferences, 10 hours of TV news in English and 20 hours in Greek, 87 hours of travel videos in English and 53 hours in Greek (a small part of this data consists of same audio stream in both languages and another small part consists of audio stream in one language and subtitles in the other).
The data exists in different formats (MPEG-2, WMV and TS for the politics data).
