This corpus is a parallel corpus of spoken strings of digits in English and Japanese spoken by a bilingual speaker. Each string of digits has one of the digits emphasized, and thus is useful for research that is interested in translation of paralinguistic information, particularly emphasis or speaker traits. The data is split into standard training and test sets of 445 and 55 utterances respectively. The corpus is free to use for research purposes, but should not be used for commercial systems or redistributed.
