Unsupervised Extraction of Prosodic Structure
نویسنده
چکیده
Our approach for unsupervised extraction of prosodic structure in spontaneous speech consists of the four steps: chunking into interpausal units, syllable nucleus extraction, prosodic boundary detection, and pitch accent detection. The extraction is based on acoustic features derived from F0 parameterization, and on energy and segment duration features. Phrase boundaries and accents are detected by means of nearest centroid classifiers which are bootstrapped from the data.

Improving prosodic phrase prediction by unsupervised adaptation and syntactic features extraction
In the state-of-the-art speech synthesis system, prosodic phrase prediction is the most serious problem which leads to about 40% of text analysis errors. Two optimization strategies are proposed in this paper to deal with two major types of prosodic phrase prediction errors. First, unsupervised adaptation method is proposed to alleviate the mismatching problem between training and testing. Seco...
متن کاملThe Prosody of Discourse Structure and Content in the Production of Persian EFL Learners
The present research addressed the prosodic realization of global and local text structure and content in the spoken discourse data produced by Persian EFL learners. Two newspaper articles were analyzed using Rhetorical Structure Theory. Based on these analyses, the global structure in terms of hierarchical level, the local structure in terms of the relative importance of text segments and the ...
متن کاملCoPaSul Manual - Contour-based parametric and superpositional intonation stylization
The purposes of the CoPaSul toolkit are (1) automatic prosodic annotation and (2) prosodic feature extraction from syllable to utterance level. CoPaSul stands for contour-based, parametric, superpositional intonation stylization. In this framework intonation is represented as a superposition of global and local contours that are described parametrically in terms of polynomial coefficients. On t...
متن کاملUnsupervised Syntactic Chunking with Acoustic Cues: Computational Models for Prosodic Bootstrapping
Learning to group words into phrases without supervision is a hard task for NLP systems, but infants routinely accomplish it. We hypothesize that infants use acoustic cues to prosody, which NLP systems typically ignore. To evaluate the utility of prosodic information for phrase discovery, we present an HMMbased unsupervised chunker that learns from only transcribed words and raw acoustic correl...
متن کاملUnsupervised prosody labeling for constructing Mandarin TTS
This paper introduces an unsupervised prosody labeling method for preparing a large speech corpus used in developing a Mandarin Text-to-Speech system. Adopting a four-layer prosody hierarchy, the proposed method performs an unsupervised segmental clustering that iteratively segments spoken utterances into strings of prosodic constituents and models the patterns of the segmented prosodic constit...
