SGT Star corpus
The SGT Star corpus consists of dialogues between trained handlers (relaying user questions) and a virtual character, SGT Star. The corpus includes handler speech, manual transcriptions, character responses, manual coherence ratings for the responses, and various system-internal information. Data were collected in three field deployments of the character: at the National Future Farmers of America Convention (Indianapolis, October 2007 and 2008) and at the National Leadership and Skills Conference (Kansas City, June 2008).
