Integrating Changes of Register into Automatic Intonation Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
While current tools for the automatic analysis and modeling of intonation are satisfactory for laboratory or isolated sentences, they appear insufficient for the study of longer stretches of authentic speech, which are in general marked by systematic changes of register. This study shows that implementing automatically detected register changes significantly improves the accuracy of the automatic coding of intonation patterns with the INTSINT algorithm. This implies, upstream, to define a reliable measurement of register and a way to detect its changes automatically.

CoPaSul Manual - Contour-based parametric and superpositional intonation stylization
The purposes of the CoPaSul toolkit are (1) automatic prosodic annotation and (2) prosodic feature extraction from syllable to utterance level. CoPaSul stands for contour-based, parametric, superpositional intonation stylization. In this framework intonation is represented as a superposition of global and local contours that are described parametrically in terms of polynomial coefficients. On t...
متن کاملAutomatic detection and prediction of topic changes through automatic detection of register variations and pause duration
In this article a clustering algorithm, allowing the automatic detection of speakers’ register changes, is presented. Together with automatic detection of pause duration, it has shown to be efficient for the automatic detection and prediction of topic changes. The need to take into account other parameters such as tempo and intensity, in the framework of Linear Discriminant Analysis, is propose...

متن کاملAutomatic Intonation Analysis Using Acoustic Data
In a research world where many human-hours are spent labelling, segmenting, checking, and rechecking various levels of linguistic information, it is obvious that automatic analysis can lower the costs (in time as well as funding) of linguistic annotation. More importantly, automatic speech analysis coupled with automatic speech generation allows human-computer interaction to advance towards spo...
متن کاملAPA: towards an Automatic Tool for Prosodic Analysis
In this paper a tool for the speech signal prosodic analysis is described. The system APA (Automatic Prosodic Analysis) is based on a tool for speech segmentation into syllabic units and on their description in terms of pitch, energy and duration. A particular linear stylization of the fundamental frequency function is proposed, which helps in describing efficiently intonation movements at phra...
