The Speech and Language Resource Bank: A central index of resources for speech science research and education

The increasing proliferation of code, data, and programming language libraries for use in speech science research raises concerns over the maintenance and organization of these disparate resources. These concerns have motivated us to develop the Speech and Language Resource Bank (SLRB; www.slrb.net): a federated repository of resources for speech analysis, data, education, and experimentation. Our primary goal for this repository is to serve as a central point from which researchers and teachers in the speech sciences can find and access resources from the community. In the future we aim to use the SLRB to establish standards for resource development and documentation, as well as providing opportunities for the development of larger meta-packages that can mitigate the increasing duplication and fragmentation of work in the field.
