چکیده

A method is introduced for using hidden Markov models (HMMs) to model intonational structure. HMMs are probabilistic and can capture the variability in structure which previous finite state network models lack. We show how intonational tunes can be modelled by separate HMMs and how HMMs can be used in a recognition system to automatically determine the tune type of an utterance.

Introducing Busy Customer Portfolio Using Hidden Markov Model

Due to the effective role of Markov models in customer relationship management (CRM), there is a lack of comprehensive literature review which contains all related literatures. In this paper the focus is on academic databases to find all the articles that had been published in 2011 and earlier. One hundred articles were identified and reviewed to find direct relevance for applying Markov models...

Prosody dependent speech recognition with explicit duration modelling at intonational phrase boundaries

Does prosody help word recognition? In this paper, we propose a novel probabilistic framework in which word and phoneme are dependent on prosody in a way that improves word recognition. The prosody attribute that we investigate in this study is the duration lengthening effects of the speech segments in the vicinity of intonational phrase boundaries. Explicit Duration Hidden Markov Model (EDHMM)...

An Intonational Phrase Boundary and Pitch Accent Dependent Speech Recognizer

Does prosody help word recognition? In this paper, we propose a novel probabilistic framework in which word and phoneme are dependent on prosody in a way that improves word recognition. We describe the idea of prosody dependent speech recognition by building a prosody dependent speech recognizer that conditions word and phoneme models on two important prosodic variables: intonational phrase bou...
