Project Description

The article cited above describes the CANDOR project, data, and analyses. At TalkBank, we have broken up the full database into 16 segments based on the first number/letter of the video file name. We have also created new ASR versions for compatibility with TalkBank CHAT format, but these will need further checking. Each of the 16 folders also have the features and surveys from the CANDOR database, and the full corpus download also includes the 0speakers.csv file that lists the conversations in which each speaker participated.

Researchers wishing to access the TalkBank version of CANDOR should first apply for access from the BetterUp site . Once approved, they also need to also need to register at TalkBank by entering their email address and setting a password. After that they need to send an email to macw@cmu.edu requesting TalkBank CANDOR access.
