Detection thresholds for gaps, overlaps, and no-gap-no-overlaps.
نویسنده
چکیده
Detection thresholds for gaps and overlaps, that is acoustic and perceived silences and stretches of overlapping speech in speaker changes, were determined. Subliminal gaps and overlaps were categorized as no-gap-no-overlaps. The established gap and overlap detection thresholds both corresponded to the duration of a long vowel, or about 120 ms. These detection thresholds are valuable for mapping the perceptual speaker change categories gaps, overlaps, and no-gap-no-overlaps into the acoustic domain. Furthermore, the detection thresholds allow generation and understanding of gaps, overlaps, and no-gap-no-overlaps in human-like spoken dialogue systems.

Very Short Utterances and Timing in Turn-Taking
This work explores the timing of very short utterances in conversations, as well as the effects of excluding intervals adjacent to such utterances from distributions of betweenspeaker interval durations. The results show that very short utterances are more precisely timed to the preceding utterance than longer utterances in terms of a smaller variance and a larger proportion of no-gap-no-overla...
متن کاملEffects of talk-spurt silence boundary thresholds on distribution of gaps and overlaps
Faced with lack of objective and easily applicable criteria for segmentation of speech into dialogue turns, many authors resort instead to units defined in terms of stretches of speech minimally bounded by silence of some predefined duration. There is, however, no consensus concerning silence thresholds employed. While such thresholds can be established on perceptual grounds, in practice a wide...
متن کاملMeasures of sexual partnerships: lengths, gaps, overlaps, and sexually transmitted infection.
GOAL The length of time between partnerships ("gap") is an important determinant of the overall transmission system of sexually transmitted infections. We describe the distributions of gaps, lengths, and overlaps among participants in a random-digit dialing survey conducted among 1194 Seattle residents during 2003-2004. METHODS Survey participants were restricted to those 18 to 39 years of ag...
متن کاملPauses, gaps and overlaps in conversations
This paper explores durational aspects of pauses, gaps and overlaps in three different conversational corpora with a view to challenge claims about precision timing in turn-taking. Distributions of pause, gap and overlap durations in conversations are presented, and methodological issues regarding the statistical treatment of such distributions are discussed. The results are related to publishe...
متن کاملHuman auditory brainstem response to temporal gaps in noise.
Gap detection is a commonly used measure of temporal resolution, although the mechanisms underlying gap detection are not well understood. To the extent that gap detection depends on processes within, or peripheral to, the auditory brainstem, one would predict that a measure of gap threshold based on the auditory brainstem response (ABR) would be similar to the psychophysical gap detection thre...
