@techreport{oai:grips.repo.nii.ac.jp:00001699, author = {MASUYAMA, Mikitaka and KAWAHARA, Tatsuya}, note = {https://www.grips.ac.jp/list/jp/facultyinfo/masuyama_mikitaka/, The Japanese Diet uses the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system, which directly transcribes parliamentary speech made in both plenary and committee meetings. ASR performance is monitored for most of the meetings, consistently achieving over 90 percent of Japanese character accuracy. By using the ASR for Diet deliberations, an internet video retrieval system is developed to create timestamp data to match the minutes of parliamentary meetings and video feeds. Our video retrieval system allows one to pinpoint and play the parliamentary video clips corresponding to the minutes of meetings by means of keyword-search. In this paper, we offer an overview of the video retrieval system, and suggest a variety of ways in which our video retrieval system can be utilized. By analyzing the differences between faithful transcripts and official minutes, we depart from tradition of focusing on written official minutes and shed new light on the complex and multifaceted nature of parliamentary discussion., This work is supported by JSPS Kakenhi Grant Number 15H05727 and prepared for presentation at the ECPR Standing Group on Parliaments Conference, Leiden University, Netherlands, June 27-29, 2019.}, title = {Automatic Speech Recognition and Video Retrieval System for the Japanese Diet} }
