Evaluating Word Embeddings for Sentence Boundary Detection in Speech Transcripts
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is motivated by the automation of neuropsychological tests involving discourse analysis in the retellings of narratives by patients with potential cognitive impairment. In this scenario the task of sentence boundary detection in speech transcripts is important as discourse analysis involves the application of Natural Language Processing tools, such as taggers and parsers, which depend on the sentence as a processing unit. Our aim in this paper is to verify which embedding induction method works best for the sentence boundary detection task, specifically whether it be those which were proposed to capture semantic, syntactic or morphological similarities.

Sentence Segmentation in Narrative Transcripts from Neuropsycological Tests using Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks
Automated discourse analysis tools based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) aiming at the diagnosis of languageimpairing dementias generally extract several textual metrics of narrative transcripts. However, the absence of sentence boundary segmentation in the transcripts prevents the direct application of NLP methods which rely on these marks to function properly, such as taggers and parsers...

متن کاملSentence Boundary Detection for French with Subword-Level Information Vectors and Convolutional Neural Networks
In this work we tackle the problem of sentence boundary detection applied to French as a binary classification task (”sentence boundary” or ”not sentence boundary”). We combine convolutional neural networks with subword-level information vectors, which are word embedding representations learned from Wikipedia that take advantage of the words morphology; so each word is represented as a bag of t...
متن کاملA deep neural network approach for sentence boundary detection in broadcast news
This paper presents a deep neural network (DNN) approach to sentence boundary detection in broadcast news. We extract prosodic and lexical features at each inter-word position in the transcripts and learn a sequential classifier to label these positions as either boundary or non-boundary. This work is realized by a hybrid DNN-CRF (conditional random field) architecture. The DNN accepts prosodic...
متن کاملImproving Automatic Sentence Boundary Detection with Confusion Networks
We extend existing methods for automatic sentence boundary detection by leveraging multiple recognizer hypotheses in order to provide robustness to speech recognition errors. For each hypothesized word sequence, an HMM is used to estimate the posterior probability of a sentence boundary at each word boundary. The hypotheses are combined using confusion networks to determine the overall most lik...
