Authors: Gili Goldin, Nick Howell, Noam Ordan, Ella Rabinovich, Shuly Wintner,
Abstract summary: We present the Corpus Knesset, a corpus of Hebrew parliamentary proceedings from 1998 to 2022. We show that the corpus can be used to examine historical developments in the style of political discussions. We also investigate some differences between the styles of men and women speakers.

Abstract: We present the Knesset Corpus, a corpus of Hebrew parliamentary proceedings containing over 30 million sentences (over 384 million tokens) from all the (plenary and committee) protocols held in the Israeli parliament between 1998 and 2022. Sentences are annotated with morpho-syntactic information and are associated with detailed meta-information reflecting demographic and political properties of the speakers, based on a large database of parliament members and factions that we compiled. We discuss the structure and composition of the corpus and the various processing steps we applied to it. To demonstrate the utility of this novel dataset we present two use cases. We show that the corpus can be used to examine historical developments in the style of political discussions by showing a reduction in lexical richness in the proceedings over time. We also investigate some differences between the styles of men and women speakers. These use cases exemplify the potential of the corpus to shed light on important trends in the Israeli society, supporting research in linguistics, political science, communication, law, etc.

Quantifying the redundancy between prosody and text [67.07817268372743]
We use large language models to estimate how much information is redundant between prosody and the words themselves. We find a high degree of redundancy between the information carried by the words and prosodic information across several prosodic features. Still, we observe that prosodic features can not be fully predicted from text, suggesting that prosody carries information above and beyond the words.

Speech Resynthesis from Discrete Disentangled Self-Supervised Representations [49.48053138928408]
We propose using self-supervised discrete representations for the task of speech resynthesis. We extract low-bitrate representations for speech content, prosodic information, and speaker identity. Using the obtained representations, we can get to a rate of 365 bits per second while providing better speech quality than the baseline methods.
