چکیده
In this paper, we give results on our recent study on Chinese person names. The analysis is based on a corpus of 1 million names. The results include the syllable lengths and surname composition of the names in the corpus, full name and given name statistic results and analysis, tonal pattern analysis of Chinese full and given names, and name confusion analysis when given number of names are extracted from the corpus. Since pronunciation is involved in the tonal pattern of the names and confusion analysis, we give our strategy of dealing with the multi-pronunciation characters in Chinese person names. A model is brought forward to estimate the upper-limit to the recognition accuracy when N words are randomly extracted from the corpus, and has been used in our name analysis.

متن کاملIdentifying linguistic segmentations in Chinese spoken dialogue
In a continuous speech recognition system, a longer waveform is usually segmented into some shorter pieces based on simple acoustic criteria, such as unfilled pauses (i.e., silences). We call such a kind of segmentation as an acoustic segmentation. In general, the acoustic segmentations do not reflect the linguistic structure. They may fragment sentences or semantic units. Besides, they may als...
