A Noisy Channel Approach to Error Correction in Spoken Referring Expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We offer a noisy channel approach for recognizing and correcting erroneous words in referring expressions. Our mechanism handles three types of errors: it removes noisy input, inserts missing prepositions, and replaces mis-heard words (at present, they are replaced by generic words). Our mechanism was evaluated on a corpus of 295 spoken referring expressions, improving interpretation performance.

Context-dependent error correction of spoken referring expressions
We integrate a supervised machine learning mechanism for detecting erroneous words in the output of a speech recognizer with a two-tier error-correction approach that features (1) a noisy-channel model that replaces erroneous words with generic words, and (2) a phonetic-similarity mechanism that refines the generic words based on a short list of candidate interpretations. Our results, obtained ...
متن کاملGENERALIZED JOINT HIGHER-RANK NUMERICAL RANGE
The rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. For noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. In this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, Generaliz...
متن کاملError Detection in Automatic Speech Recognition
We offer a supervised machine learning approach for recognizing erroneous words in the output of a speech recognizer. We have investigated several sets of features combined with two word configurations, and compared the performance of two classifiers: Decision Trees and Naïve Bayes. Evaluation was performed on a corpus of 400 spoken referring expressions, with Decision Trees yielding a high rec...
متن کامل'kradeoff Between Source and Channel Coding
A problem in the transmission of analog information across a noisy discrete channel is the choice of channel code rate that optimally allocates the available transmission rate between lossy source coding and block channel coding. We establish tight bounds on the channel code rate that minimizes the average distortion of a vector quantizer cascaded with a channel coder and a binary symmetric cha...
متن کاملCorrection of disfluencies in spontaneous speech using a noisy-channel approach
In this paper we present a system which automatically corrects disfluencies such as repairs and restarts typically occurring in spontaneously spoken speech. The system is based on a noisy-channel model and its development requires no linguistic knowledge, but only annotated texts. Therefore, it has large potential for rapid deployment and the adaptation to new target languages. The experiments ...
