Context-dependent error correction of spoken referring expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We integrate a supervised machine learning mechanism for detecting erroneous words in the output of a speech recognizer with a two-tier error-correction approach that features (1) a noisy-channel model that replaces erroneous words with generic words, and (2) a phonetic-similarity mechanism that refines the generic words based on a short list of candidate interpretations. Our results, obtained on a corpus of 341 referring expressions, show that the first tier improves interpretation performance, and the second tier yields further improvements.

A Noisy Channel Approach to Error Correction in Spoken Referring Expressions
We offer a noisy channel approach for recognizing and correcting erroneous words in referring expressions. Our mechanism handles three types of errors: it removes noisy input, inserts missing prepositions, and replaces mis-heard words (at present, they are replaced by generic words). Our mechanism was evaluated on a corpus of 295 spoken referring expressions, improving interpretation performance.
متن کاملError Detection in Automatic Speech Recognition
We offer a supervised machine learning approach for recognizing erroneous words in the output of a speech recognizer. We have investigated several sets of features combined with two word configurations, and compared the performance of two classifiers: Decision Trees and Naïve Bayes. Evaluation was performed on a corpus of 400 spoken referring expressions, with Decision Trees yielding a high rec...
متن کاملEFL Learners’ Preferences for Error Correction and Its Relationship with Demotivation and Language Proficiency in the Iranian Context
The present study is an attempt to explore any significant relationships between learners’ preferences for error correction, demotivation, and language proficiency (LP). One hundred Iranian EFL students, including both males and females, studying at the departments of foreign languages of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman and Tehran University took part in this study. In order to obtain the r...
متن کاملCandidate Generation for ASR Output Error Correction Using a Context-Dependent Syllable Cluster-Based Confusion Matrix
Error correction techniques have been proposed in the applications of language learning and spoken dialogue systems for spoken language understanding. These techniques include two consecutive stages: the generation of correction candidates and the selection of correction candidates. In this study, a Context-Dependent Syllable Cluster (CD-SC)-based Confusion Matrix is proposed for the generation...
متن کاملReferring in Installments: A Corpus Study of Spoken Object References in an Interactive Virtual Environment
Commonly, the result of referring expression generation algorithms is a single noun phrase. In interactive settings with a shared workspace, however, human dialog partners often split referring expressions into installments that adapt to changes in the context and to actions of their partners. We present a corpus of human–human interactions in the GIVE-2 setting in which instructions are spoken...
