Named entity extraction from word lattices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for named entity extraction from word lattices produced by a speech recogniser. Previous work by others on named entity extraction from speech has used either a manual transcript or 1-best recogniser output. We describe how a single Viterbi search can recover both the named entity sequence and the corresponding word sequence from a word lattice, and further that it is possible to trade off an increase in word error rate for improved named entity extraction.

A general algorithm for word graph matrix decomposition
In automatic speech recognition, word graphs (lattices) are commonly used as an approximate representation of the complete word search space. Usually these word lattices are acyclic and have no a-priori structure. More recently a new class of normalized word lattices have been proposed. These word lattices (a.k.a. sausages) are very efficient (space) and they provide a normalization (chunking) ...
متن کاملNamed Entity Recognition in Persian Text using Deep Learning
Named entities recognition is a fundamental task in the field of natural language processing. It is also known as a subset of information extraction. The process of recognizing named entities aims at finding proper nouns in the text and classifying them into predetermined classes such as names of people, organizations, and places. In this paper, we propose a named entity recognizer which benefi...
متن کاملMining broadcast news data: robust information extraction from word lattices
Fine-grained information extraction performance from spoken corpora is strongly correlated with the Word Error Rate (WER) of the automatic transcriptions processed. Despite the recent advances in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) methods, high WER transcriptions are common when dealing with unmatched conditions between the documents to process and those used to train the ASR models. Such misma...

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a fundamental task in natural language processing and also known as a subset of information extraction. We seek to locate and classify named entities in text into predefined categories such as the names of persons, organizations, locations, expressions of times, etc. Named Entity Recognition for English texts has been researched widely for the past years, howev...
متن کاملBeyond ASR 1-best: Using word confusion networks in spoken language understanding
We are interested in the problem of robust understanding from noisy spontaneous speech input. With the advances in automated speech recognition (ASR), there has been increasing interest in spoken language understanding (SLU). A challenge in large vocabulary spoken language understanding is robustness to ASR errors. State of the art spoken language understanding relies on the best ASR hypotheses...
