We investigate the task of punctuation prediction in English sentences without prosodic information. In our approach, stochastic gradient ascent (SGA) is used to maximize log conditional likelihood when learning the parameters of linear-chain conditional random fields. For SGA, two different approximation techniques, namely Collins perceptron and contrastive divergence, are used to estimate the...

This paper is about the development of statistical models of prosodic features to generate linguistic meta-data for spoken language. In particular, we are concerned with automatically punctuating the output of a broadcast news speech recogniser. We present a statistical finite state model that combines prosodic, linguistic and punctuation class features. Experimental results are presented using...
