An automatic music transcriber is a device that detects, without human interference, the musical gestures required to play a particular piece. Many techniques have been proposed to solve the problem of automatic music transcription. This paper presents an overview on the theme, discussing digital signal processing techniques, pattern classification techniques and heuristic assumptions derived f...

This study presents the phonological system exhibited by children (n=59) aged 3;0 to 6;0 and focuses on role of input frequency. Using a spontaneous child speech corpus Spanish (CHIEDE) as data source, well computational processing techniques -including an automatic transcriber-, relating level was retrieved. resulted in inventory Spanish-speaking children, ordered frequency use, which may serv...

Our study focuses on the issue of prosodic annotation and of the prosody ~ syntax interface in conversation and is based on a large corpus of conversational speech in French. The results of inter-transcriber agreement tests show that two expert transcribers are consistent in their labeling of prosodic phrasing and the consistency is well above the chance. A qualitative analysis reveals transcri...

Learning a foreign language is a challenging endeavor that entails acquiring a wide range of new knowledge including words, grammar, gestures, sounds, etc. Mastering these skills all require extensive practice by the learner and opportunities may not always be available. Computer Aided Language Learning (CALL) systems provide non-threatening environments where foreign language skills can be pra...

We propose a new approach to improving named entity recognition (NER) in broadcast news speech data. The approach proceeds in two key steps: (1) we automatically detect document alignments between highly similar speech documents and corresponding written news stories that are easily obtainable from the Web; (2) we employ term expansion techniques commonly used in information retrieval to recove...
