Abstract On a large speech database read by untrained speakers experiments for the recognition of phrase boundaries and phrase accents were performed. We used durational features as well as features derived from pitch and energy contours and pause information. Diierent sets of features were compared. For distinguishing three diierent boundary classes a recognition rate of 75.7% and for distinguishing accentuated from unaccentuated syllables a recognition rate of 88.7% could be achieved.

Doctoral Thesis Proposal Automatic Detection and Classification of Prosodic Events
Speech prosody is a valuable carrier of information. Accents and phrase boundaries have been shown to contribute to syntactic disambiguation, semantic, pragmatic and paralinguistic interpretation, and to convey information about topicality, focus, contrast and information status. This thesis will present and evaluate techniques to detect and classify these prosodic events. The acoustic correlat...
متن کاملFocus detection with additional information of phrase boundaries and sentence mode
In this paper an improved method for detection of focus accents is presented. The focus detection algorithm works with a rule-based approach. The main information source is the fundamental frequency F0 of an utterance. Results for the original version are 79 % recognition rate and 67 % average recognition rate for spontaneous speech. By integration of additional information like phrase boundari...

This paper proposes a framework of automatic intonation labeling which involves detection and classification of pitch accents and phrase boundaries. Four statistical models are designed to perform these tasks on the basis of a compact and simple representation consisting of features identified as the main acoustic correlates of accentual prominence and phrase boundaries or describing the acoust...
متن کاملIncremental Prosody Modelling for Interaction Management in Spoken Dialogue Systems
Prosody, as manifested in accents and phrasal boundaries, is a recognized and important aspect of human language understanding. Accents are supported by syllables, whereas phrasal boundaries occur between words. The influence of both accents and boundaries on the other hand, extends to surrounding syllables and, in the case of boundaries, preceding words (even as far back as the last accent in ...
