Examining the Contributions of Automatic Speech Transcriptions and Metadata Sources for Searching Spontaneous Conversational Speech
The searching spontaneous speech can be enhanced by combining automatic speech transcriptions with semantically related metadata. An important question is what can be expected from search of such transcriptions and different sources of related metadata in terms of retrieval effectiveness. The Cross-Language Speech Retrieval (CL-SR) track at recent CLEF workshops provides a spontaneous speech te...
متن کاملCreating a Spontaneous Conversational Speech Corpus
Speech recognition and language analysis of spontaneous speech arising in naturally spoken conversations are becoming the subject of much research. However, there is a shortage of spontaneous speech corpora that are freely available for academics. We therefore undertook the building of a natural conversation speech database, recording over 200 hours of conversations in English by over 600 local...
متن کاملJANUS-II-translation of spontaneous conversational speech
JANUS-II is a research system to design and test components of speech-to-speech translation systems as well as a research prototype for such a system. We will focus on two aspects of the system: 1) new features of the speech recognition component JANUS-SR, 2) the end-to-end performance of JANUS-II, including a comparison of two machine translation strategies used for JANUS-MT (PHOENIX and GLR*).
متن کاملUtilising spontaneous conversational speech in HMM-based speech synthesis
Spontaneous conversational speech has many characteristics that are currently not well modelled in unit selection and HMM-based speech synthesis. But in order to build synthetic voices more suitable for interaction we need data that exhibits more conversational characteristics than the generally used read aloud sentences. In this paper we will show how carefully selected utterances from a spont...
متن کاملTowards recognizing "non-lexical" words in spontaneous conversational speech
The purpose of this paper is to study and analyze both the non-lexical lled pauses and intended responses in conversational spontaneous speech, and how this can be useful in both automatic speech recognition and speaker identi cation systems. Through experiments, it was found that we are able to distinguish between words and non-lexical words in spontaneous speech using prosodic features. Conse...
