Prosodic Disambiguation in Spoken Systems Output
This paper presents work on using prosody in the output of spoken dialogue systems to resolve possible structural ambiguity of output utterances. An algorithm is proposed to discover ambiguous parses of an utterance and to add prosodic disambiguation events to deliver the intended structure. By conducting a pilot experiment, the automatic prosodic grouping applied to ambiguous sentences shows t...
متن کاملUsing Prosodic Cues in Spoken Dialog Systems
In this paper we show how prosody can be used in spoken dialog systems. First, we describe the phenomena that prosodic analysis is concerned with and give examples why prosody is relevant in the context of spoken dialog processing. Then we examine prosody in the light of pattern classification. We show how prosodic events can be categorized. We detail how those prosodic events manifest themselv...
متن کاملProsodic systems: Mainland Southeast Asia
Mainland Southeast Asia is often viewed as a linguistic area where five different language phyla – Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Hmong-Mien, Sino-Tibetan and Kra-Dai – have converged typologically. This chapter illustrates areal features found in their prosodic systems, but also emphasizes their oft-understated diversity. The first part of the chapter describes word level prosodic properties. A ...
متن کاملIncluding prosodic cues in ASR systems
Several aspects related to production, as well as natural perception of speech, have gradually been incorporated to automatic speech recognition systems. Nevertheless, the set of speech prosodic characteristics has not been used for the time being in an explicit way in the recognition process itself. In this work, an analysis of the prosody’s three most important parameters: energy, fundamental...
متن کاملWord-prosodic typology
Numerous proposals have been advanced as to how prosodic systems should be typologised. In this paper I distinguish two prototype systems, tone and stress accent, which, unlike systems analysed as ‘pitch accent’, have two inviolable, definitional properties: (i) obligatoriness (every word has at least one stress accent) ; (ii) syllable-dependency (the stress-bearing unit is necessarily the syll...
