Automatic recognition of sentence type from prosody in dutch
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates to what extent statements, Whquestions, Yes/No-questions and declarative questions in Dutch can be automatically discriminated on the basis of global and local F0-parameters. Global parameters were the slope and mean pitch of upper and lower trend lines that were fitted through F0-curves; local parameters were onset and offset F0 of a terminal question-marking pitch rise. Results indicate that women mark the interrogative status of a sentence more often and perceptually more saliently. Generally, global downtrend parameters are better predictors of sentence type than parameters of the final rise.

Sentence Modality Recognition in French based on Prosody
This paper deals with automatic sentencemodality recognition in French. In this work, only prosodic features are considered. The sentences are recognized according to the three following modalities: declarative, interrogative and exclamatory sentences. This information will be used to animate a talking head for deaf and hearingimpaired children. We first statistically study a real radio corpus ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Importance of the prosodic Features for Automatic Sentence Modality Recognition in French in real Conditions
This paper deals with the measure of importance of the prosodic features for automatic sentence modality recognition in French in real conditions. We start by analysing the problem of subjectivity of manual labeling of corpus. Then, we show the results of automatic sentence modality recognition by only two prosodic features: fundamental frequency (F0) and energy. The global accuracy (ACC) is no...
متن کاملProsody Modeling for Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding
This paper summarizes statistical modeling approaches for the use of prosody (the rhythm and melody of speech) in automatic recognition and understanding of speech. We outline effective prosodic feature extraction, model architectures, and techniques to combine prosodic with lexical (word-based) information. We then survey a number of applications of the framework, and give results for automati...
