The Importance of Prosodic Factors in Phoneme Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper tests speech recognition using prosody dependent allophone models. The log likehoods of various prosodically labeled phonemes are calculated using Baum-Welsh re-estimation. These log likehoods are then compared to log likehoods of non-prosodically labeled phonemes. Based on the comparison of these log likehoods, it can be concluded that modeling all prosodic information directly in the vowel model leads to improvement in the model. Consonants, on the other hand, split naturally into three categories, strengthened, lengthened and neutral.

متن کاملAllophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملModeling and recognition of phonetic and prosodic factors for improvements to acoustic speech recognition models
This paper examines the usefulness of including prosodic and phonetic context information in the phoneme model of a speech recognizer. This is done by creating a series of prosodic and phonetic models and then comparing the mutual information between the observations and each possible context variable. Prosodic variables show improvement less often than phone context variables, however, prosodi...
متن کاملThe Prosody of Discourse Structure and Content in the Production of Persian EFL Learners
The present research addressed the prosodic realization of global and local text structure and content in the spoken discourse data produced by Persian EFL learners. Two newspaper articles were analyzed using Rhetorical Structure Theory. Based on these analyses, the global structure in terms of hierarchical level, the local structure in terms of the relative importance of text segments and the ...
متن کاملInfluence of Phonological, Morphological, and Prosodic Factors on Phoneme Detection by Native and Second-Language Adults
This study investigates how phonology, morphology, and prosody affect phoneme identification within sentences. The influence of these factors was examined in a phoneme monitoring task with Australian-English and SecondLanguage-English Mandarin-Chinese participants monitoring for /n/ in four morphological contexts (part of a word stem, correct/altered grammatical inflection, or derivational infl...
