地方政治コーパスの構築に向けて―地方議会改革の視点を含めて―

抄録

　In recent years, many Japanese people have called for reform of the local assembly. Local assembly members who have been commissioned by voters should make their comment based on campaign pledge. But some of them never give their opinion during their term, or some have asked local officials to prepare their scripts. Therefore, some people criticize the local council as a ‘school arts festival’. The construction of the local politics corpus is one of the effective ways to measure the degree of agreement between their election pledges and statement remarks in their assembly. However, the cost of building a local political corpus is very high.

　Recently, there is a movement to build a local political corpus in the field of natural language processing research. This is because the development of information and communication technology has facilitated automatic data collection. Open data policies are also being promoted.

　In this paper, we consider the current situation and issues of Japanese local corpora construction, and recommend improvement measures.
