Automatic, model-based detection of pause-less phrase boundaries from fundamental frequency and duration features
Prosodic phrase boundaries (PBs) are a key aspect of spoken communication. In automatic PB detection, it is common to use local acoustic features, textual features, or a combination of both. Most approaches – regardless of features used – succeed in detecting major PBs (break score “4” in ToBI annotation, typically involving a pause) while detection of intermediate PBs (break score “3” in ToBI ...
متن کاملThe effect of surrounding phrase lengths on pause duration
Little is known about the determining influences on the length of silent intervals at IP boundaries and no current models accurately predict their duration. The contribution of independent factors with different characteristic properties to pause duration needs to be explored. The present study seeks to investigate if pause duration is correlated with the length of sentences or phrases precedin...
متن کاملPause As A Phrase Demarcator For Speech And Language Processing
In spontaneous speech understanding a sophisticated integration of speech recognition and language processing is espceially crucial. However, the two modnles are traditionally designed independently, with independent linguistie rules. In Japanese spc.ech recognition the bunsctsu phrase is the basic processing unit and in language processing the sentence is the basic unit. This difference has ma...
متن کاملTwo transcription pause elements underlie a σ70-dependent pause cycle.
The movement of RNA polymerase (RNAP) during transcription elongation is modulated by DNA-encoded elements that cause the elongation complex to pause. One of the best-characterized pause sequences is a binding site for the σ(70) initiation factor that induces pausing at a site near lambdoid phage late-gene promoters. An essential component of this σ(70)-dependent pause is the elemental pause si...
متن کاملUsing Prosodic Features for Predicting Phrase Boundaries
Spoken input of address data in modern GPS units is typically done by filling one information slot after another. To fill-in multiple slots at once, the particular slot information contained in the input utterance has to be extracted. We employ phrase boundaries to separate the speech signal into certain slots. In our evaluation, several types of input utterances differing in the number of slot...
