Developing the modelling of Swedish prosody in spontaneous dialogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main goal of our current research is the development of the Swedish prosody model. In our analysis of discourse and dialogue intonation we are exploiting model-based resynthesis. By comparing synthesized default and fine-tuned pitch contours for dialogues under study we are able to isolate relevant intonation patterns. This analysis of intonation is related to an independent modelling of topic structure consisting of lexical-semantic analysis and text segmentation. Some results from our model-based acoustic analysis are presented, and the implementation in text-tospeech-synthesis is discussed.

SWING : A tool for modelling intonational varieties of Swedish
SWING (SWedish INtonation Generator) is a new tool for analysis and modelling of Swedish intonation by resynthesis. It was developed in order to facilitate analysis of regional varieties, particularly related to the Swedish prosody model. Annotated speech samples are resynthesized with rule based intonation and audiovisually analysed with regard to the major intonational varieties of Swedish. W...
متن کاملIdentification of utterance intention in Japanese spontaneous spoken dialogue by use of prosody and keyword information
This paper describes the study on the identification of utterance intention in Japanese spontaneous dialogue. The procedure of tagging the dialog act which was labeled by hand was evaluated by the analysis of the prosodic information and keyword recognition for the dialogues of scheduling and travel arrangement domains. It was shown that the integration of prosody and keywords relevant to illoc...
متن کاملCoherence among pro
In the present paper, we investigate whether decreasing phrase-initial accent peaks over the course of several prosodic phrases is used to signal coherence among phrases in spontaneous Swedish. Since little is known about prosodic phrasing and discourse prosody in spontaneous Swedish, the investigation has an exploratory nature and a number of different methods have been employed in order to an...
متن کاملAnnotation Specifications of a Dialogue Corpus for Modelling Phonetic Convergence in Technical Systems
The present paper describes spoken dialogue corpus creation and its annotation specification for analysis and objective evaluation of phonetic convergence in human-human communication. The analysis of the corpus will serve for creation of convergence models which could be implemented in spoken dialogue systems based on spontaneous, expressive speech. The corpus consists of 13 hours of dialogues...
متن کاملEmotions and Prosody in Dialogues: an Algebraic Approach Based on User Modelling
The model of the dialogue based on dialogue automata presented in the paper relates internal states of the participant of a dialogue with the attributes of dialogue utterances by means of transition and output functions. Consequently, this model relates emotions (that are described by attributes of the internal states) with prosody (which is described by attributes of the dialogue utterances) a...
