Towards Semi-Automatic Analysis of Spontaneous Language for Dutch

This paper presents results of an application (Sasta) derived from the CLARIN-developed tool GrETEL for the automatic assessment of transcripts of spontaneous Dutch language. The techniques described here, if successful, (1) have important societal impact, (2) are interesting from a scientific point of view, and (3) may benefit the CLARIN infrastructure itself since they enable a derivative program that can improve the quality of the annotations of Dutch data in CHAT-format.
