An Automatic System for Detecting Prosodic Prominence in American English Continuous Speech
A precise identification of prosodic phenomena and the construction of tools able to properly manage such phenomena are essential steps to disambiguate the meaning of certain utterances. In particular they are useful for a wide variety of tasks: automatic recognition of spontaneous speech, automatic enhancement of speechgeneration systems, solving ambiguities in natural language interpretation,...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of prosodic prominence in continuous speech
This paper presents work in progress on the automatic detection of prosodic prominence in continuous speech. Prosodic prominence involves two different phonetic features: pitch accents, connected with fundamental frequency (F0) movements and syllable overall energy, and stress, which exhibits a strong correlation with syllable duration and high-frequency emphasis. By deriving a set of acoustic ...
متن کاملIdentifying prosodic prominence patterns for English text-to-speech synthesis
This thesis proposes to improve and enrich the expressiveness of English Textto-Speech (TTS) synthesis by identifying and generating natural patterns of prosodic prominence. In most state-of-the-art TTS systems the prediction from text of prosodic prominence relations between words in an utterance relies on features that very loosely account for the combined effects of syntax, semantics, word i...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation Test of an Automatic Segmentation System for Italian and American-english Continuous Speech.
We present in this paper an automatic system for the segmentation of continuos speech. The segmentation algorithm has been implemented modifying the CDHMM system RES (Recognition Experimental System) for the automatic recognition of continuos speech. The segmentation task is performed as a phonetic recognition constrained by the grammar model built only on the exact sequence of uttered phonemes...
متن کاملAutomatic Annotation of Speech Corpora for Prosodic Prominence
This paper presents a study on the automatic detection of prosodic prominence in continuous speech, with particular reference to American English, but with good prospects of application to other languages. Perceptual prosodic prominence is supported by two different prosodic features: pitch accent and stress. Pitch accent is acoustically connected with fundamental frequency (F0) movements and o...
