Please note that an updated version of this corpus has been published on 2nd December 2019, see details: http://urn.fi/urn:nbn:fi:lb-2019101621. The corpus, containing the first version of the transcriptions of of the plenary sessions of the parliament of Finland from 10.09.2008 to 1.7.2016, is available in Kielipankki, the Language Bank of Finland (Korp service), see Access location. Part of the corpus is available also in the LAT service. Korp search results have a link to the LAT version of the session if it exists. The original transcripts produced by the Parliament of Finland have been aligned with the audio tracks of the video recordings of the plenary sessions. Each speaker's speech has been separately aligned. The alignment is based on the output of a set of automatic tools and it was provided by Aalto University. Please note that the aligned transcript may contain errors and some superfluous tags may have been inserted in the text due to the automatic alignment and speech recognition process. For portions where the original audio track did not have matching text in the transcript, the speech signal was recognized automatically, and such portions may contain strange or erroneous content. The text in the transcripts has been parsed automatically using a Finnish language model. This is why the part-of-speech of word tokens in the Swedish portions within the transcripts has usually been marked as 'foreign word'.
