    This paper describes a recently collected spoken language corpus for the ATIS (Air Travel Information System) domain. This data collection effort has been co-ordinated by MADCOW (Multi-site ATIS Data COllection Working group). We summarize the motivation for this effort, the goals, the implementation of a multi-site data collection paradigm, and the accomplishments of MADCOW in monitoring the collection and distribution of 12,000 utterances of spontaneous speech from five sites for use in a multi-site common evaluation of speech, natural language and spoken language. 1. Introduction Following the February 1991 DARPA Speech and Natural Language Workshop, the DARPA Spoken Language contractors decided to institute a multi-site data collection paradigm in order to: ffl support a common evaluation on speech, natural language and spoken language; ffl maximize the amount of data collected; ffl provide some diversity in data collection paradigms; ffl reduce cost to any one site by sharing..

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
