Applications of maximum entropy rankers to problems in spoken language processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on two applications of Maximum Entropy-based ranking models to problems of relevance to automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech synthesis. The first is stress prediction in Russian, a language with notoriously complex morphology and stress rules. The second is the classification of alphabetic non-standard words, which may be read as words (NATO), as letter sequences USA, or as a mixed (mymsn). For this second task we report results on English, and five other European languages.

A Maximum Entropy Approach for Spoken Chinese Understanding
In this paper, we present a spoken language understanding method based on the maximum entropy model. We first extract certain features from the corpus, and then train the maximum entropy model with an annotated corpus. We use this model to analyze spoken Chinese into semantic frames. Experiments show that the model can work effectively.
متن کاملAn Investigation of Spoken Output and Intervention Types among Iranian EFL Learners
This study was inspired by VanPatten and Uludag’s (2011) study on the transferability of training via processing instruction to output tasks and Mori’s (2002) work on the development of talk-in-interaction during a group task. An interview was devised as the pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest to compare four intervention types for teaching the simple past passive: traditional intervention ...

Identifying spoken language automatically is to identify a language from the speech signal. Language identification systems can be divided into two categories, spectral-based methods and phonetic-based methods. In the former, short-time characteristics of speech spectrum are extracted as a multi-dimensional vector. The statistical model of these features is then obtained for each language. The ...
متن کاملUse of maximum entropy in natural word generation for statistical concept-based speech-to-speech translation
Our statistical concept-based spoken language translation method consists of three cascaded components: natural language understanding, natural concept generation and natural word generation. In the previous approaches, statistical models are used only in the first two components. In this paper, a novel maximum-entropy-based statistical natural word generation algorithm is proposed that takes i...
متن کاملA Maximum Entropy Approach to Natural Language Processing
The concept of maximum entropy can be traced back along multiple threads to Biblical times. Only recently, however, have computers become powerful enough to permit the widescale application of this concept to real world problems in statistical estimation and pattern recognition. In this paper, we describe a method for statistical modeling based on maximum entropy. We present a maximum-likelihoo...
