IntroductionThis publication contains the Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) 2 Mandarin Audio Corpus, Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) catalog number LDC2001S93 and ISBN 1-58563-184-1.

The transcriptions to these recordings are available in the Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) 2 Multilanguage Text Version 4.0, Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) catalog number LDC1999T57 and ISBN 1-58563-183-3. Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) refers to automatic techniques for finding topically related material in streams of data such as newswire and broadcast news. The TDT2 corpus was created to support three TDT2 tasks: find topically homogeneous sections (segmentation), detect the occurrrence of new events (detection), and track the reoccurrencce of old or new events (tracking). For further information on TDT2 please visit our TDT2 Information Pages. DataPlease see file.tbl for the directory structure of this publication, as well as a complete list of files. The data files are recordings of Voice of America (VOA) news broadcasts. The data were collected daily over a period of six months (February-June 1998).
