Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The purpose of this study is to visualize the similarities between speech corpora. Speech data are indispensable for promoting speech research.
A wide variety of speech corpora has recently been developed in many countries. Corpus diversification has given users many choices for corpus selection. In order for users to easily utilize these various corpora,
we propose a new feature visualization method based on the corpus attributes. First, we listed eight attributes and 58 items of the speech corpora. Then, We analyzed the speech corpus attributes using a multidimensional scaling method (MDS). The results showed that it is possible to visualize the similarities between multiple speech corpora using the proposed method. We also tested the effectiveness of the proposed method by analyzing six imaginary corpora having some specified attributes.
This method will facilitate the idea of being able to search a specific
corpus according to a user's needs.
