Statistical Speech Segmentation and Word Learning in Parallel: Scaffolding from Child-Directed Speech
In order to acquire their native languages, children must learn richly structured systems with regularities at multiple levels. While structure at different levels could be learned serially, e.g., speech segmentation coming before word-object mapping, redundancies across levels make parallel learning more efficient. For instance, a series of syllables is likely to be a word not only because of ...
متن کاملLearning Phone Embeddings for Word Segmentation of Child-Directed Speech
This paper presents a novel model that learns and exploits embeddings of phone ngrams for word segmentation in child language acquisition. Embedding-based models are evaluated on a phonemically transcribed corpus of child-directed speech, in comparison with their symbolic counterparts using the common learning framework and features. Results show that learning embeddings significantly improves ...
متن کاملA statistical model for word discovery in child directed speech
A statistical model for segmentation and word discovery in child directed speech is presented. An incremental unsupervised learning algorithm to infer word boundaries based on this model is described and results of empirical tests showing that the algorithm is competitive with other models that have been used for similar tasks are also presented.
متن کاملWord segmentation in Persian continuous speech using F0 contour
Word segmentation in continuous speech is a complex cognitive process. Previous research on spoken word segmentation has revealed that in fixed-stress languages, listeners use acoustic cues to stress to de-segment speech into words. It has been further assumed that stress in non-final or non-initial position hinders the demarcative function of this prosodic factor. In Persian, stress is retract...
متن کاملSegmentation of Child-Directed Speech: A Statistical Approach
This paper describes how distinctive features that classify speech sounds emerge from statistical analysis of Russian child-directed speech. The analysis is based on transcriptional representation of individual speech sounds. From the analysis of bigram distribution major natural classes such as consonants and vowels further subdivided into non-palatalized versus palatalized consonants and fron...
