Integrating Prosodic and Lexical Cues for Automatic Topic Segmentation
We present a probabilistic model that uses both prosodic and lexical cues for the automatic segmentation of speech into topically coherent units. We propose two methods for combining lexical and prosodic information using hiddenMarkov models and decision trees. Lexical information is obtained from a speech recognizer, and prosodic features are extracted automatically from speech waveforms. We e...
متن کاملAutomatic Paragraph Segmentation with Lexical and Prosodic Features
As long-form spoken documents become more ubiquitous in everyday life, so does the need for automatic discourse segmentation in spoken language processing tasks. Although previous work has focused on broad topic segmentation, detection of finer-grained discourse units, such as paragraphs, is highly desirable for presenting and analyzing spoken content. To better understand how different aspects...
متن کاملLexical, Prosodic, And Syntactic Cues For Dialog Acts
The structure of a discourse is reflected in many aspects of its linguistic realization, including its lexical, prosodic, syntactic, and semantic nature. Multiparty dialog contains a particular kind of discourse structure, the dialog act (DA). Like other types of structure, the dialog act sequence of a conversation is also reflected in its lexical, prosodic, and syntactic realization. This pape...
متن کاملAutomatic punctuation and disfluency detection in multi-party meetings using prosodic and lexical cues
We investigate automatic approaches to finding “hidden” spontaneous speech events, such as sentence boundaries and disfluencies, in multi-party meetings. Hidden events are characterized prosodically by a large array of automatically extracted energy, duration, and pitch features, and are modeled by decision tree classifiers; lexical cues are modeled by N-gram language models. Both sources of in...
متن کاملWord segmentation with universal prosodic cues.
When listening to speech from one's native language, words seem to be well separated from one another, like beads on a string. When listening to a foreign language, in contrast, words seem almost impossible to extract, as if there was only one bead on the same string. This contrast reveals that there are language-specific cues to segmentation. The puzzle, however, is that infants must be endowe...
