A Semantically Structured Language Model
In this paper we propose a semantically structured language (SSLM) model that significantly reduces the authoring load required over the traditional manually derived grammar when developing a spoken language system. At the same time, the SSLM results in an understanding error rate which is roughly half as large as that of the manually authored grammar. The proposed model combines the advantages...
متن کاملVowel reduction as information loss
Vowel reduction suppresses phonetic information in the speech signal and should be understood as having an analogous impact on phonological representations. Reduction follows two apparently contradictory routes in vowel space, yielding either centralised values (the ‘centripetal’ pattern) or the corner values a, i, u (the ‘centrifugal’ pattern). What unifies these vowels is the relative simplic...
متن کاملVowel Reduction in Spontaneous Spoken Dutch
This paper reports on a study of vowel reduction in contemporary Standard Dutch. The focus is on the first, unstressed syllable of four bisyllabic Dutch words: moment, manier, probeer(t) and docent. Vowel reduction is studied in a corpus of spontaneously spoken Standard Dutch, produced by 80 Flemish and 80 Dutch teachers of Dutch. Three labelers independently evaluated and scored the stimuli on...
متن کاملA Semantically Enabled Service Oriented Architecture
The researchers in DERI Innsbruck have been building an execution infrastructure for the Semantic Web Services (SWS) based on the Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm of loosely coupled components. While SOA is widely acknowledged for its potential to revolutionize the world of computing, that success depends on resolving several fundamental challenges, and especially in the case of op...
متن کاملThe Study of Vowel Space and Formant Structure in Mazani Language
Objective: One of the parameters showing the correct phonetic and phonological development is the correct and clear articulation of vowels is achieved by changing the shape of vocal cords through altering the height and position of the tongue and the movement of the lips and jaw. The tongue’s height and position are the basis of the production and difference of vowels. In other words, the raw s...
