Insertion of proper segmentation and punctuation into an ASR transcript is crucial not only for the performance of subsequent applications but also for the readability of the text. In a simultaneous spoken language translation system, the segmentation model has to fulfill real-time constraints and minimize latency as well. In this paper, we show the successful integration of an attentional enco...

In modern psycholinguistics, almost no attention is paid to the functioning of punctuation in writing / reading. The results available psycholinguistic studies, including experimental ones, are sometimes mutually exclusive. Therefore, there was a need turn works linguists, psychologists and pedagogues XX century, which made an attempt understand how subject speech learns uses it. article devote...

This article raises the question of need studying modern functioning Chuvash punctuation on material media language. The topic is relevant due to fact that in conditions developing screen culture, journalists influence mass consciousness intensively, their speech activity makes an impact linguistic tastes society and reflects main trends actual practice writing. clearly seen example such a styl...

Some recent studies in computat ional l inguist ics have aimed to take advantage of various cues presented by punctuation marks. This short survey is intended to summarise these research efforts and additionally, to outline a current perspect ive for the usage and functions of punctuation marks. We conclude by presenting an information-based f ramework for punctuation, influenced by treatments ...

Few, if any, current NLP systems make any significant use of punctuation. Intuitively, a treatment of lrunctuation seems necessary to the analysis and production of text. Whilst this has been suggested in the fiekls of discourse strnetnre, it is still nnclear whether punctuation can help in the syntactic field. This investigation atteml)ts to answer this question by parsing some corpus-based ma...

In this paper, I argue for a declarative description of the syntax and semantics of punctuation marks (in English) couched in a feature/uniication-based phrase structure formalism, describe how Nunberg's (1990) syntactic analysis of punctuation can be combined with Dale's (1991) suggested semantic analysis within this framework, and present experimental evidence that 1) the resulting text gramm...

We present a Natural Language Understanding (NLU) implementation that automatically inserts punctuation marks into a sequence of words to create a group of one or more syntactically correct sentences. The software, Possible Punctuation Points Parser (P^4) provides the ability for the user to input a string of words to process, performs the punctuation possibilities, and then provides several vi...

This paper studies the impact of automatic sentence segmentation and punctuation prediction on the quality of machine translation of automatically recognized speech. We present a novel sentence segmentation method which is specifically tailored to the requirements of machine translation algorithms and is competitive with state-of-the-art approaches for detecting sentence-like units. We also des...

In this paper, we describe our system HASP-2015 (Hybrid Arabic Spelling and Punctuation Corrector) in which we introduce significant improvements over our previous version HASP-2014 and with which we participated in the QALB2015 Second Shared Task on Arabic Error Correction. Our system utilizes probabilistic information on errors and their possible corrections in the training data and combine t...
