Incorporating Speaker and Discourse Features into Speech Summarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have explored the usefulness of incorporating speech and discourse features in an automatic speech summarization system applied to meeting recordings from the ICSI Meetings corpus. By analyzing speaker activity, turn-taking and discourse cues, we hypothesize that such a system can outperform solely text-based methods inherited from the field of text summarization. The summarization methods are described, two evaluation methods are applied and compared, and the results clearly show that utilizing such features is advantageous and efficient. Even simple methods relying on discourse cues and speaker activity can outperform text summarization approaches.

In this paper, extractive speech summarization using different machine learning algorithms was investigated. The task of Speech summarization deals with extracting important and salient segments from speech in order to access, search, extract and browse speech files easier and in a less costly manner. In this paper, a new method for speech summarization without using automatic speech recognitio...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...
متن کاملIntra-speaker variation and units in human speech perception and ASR
Research on speech perception and ASR has resulted several important advances in our understanding of speech variation: one is that speaker dependent variation is systematic, another is that inter-speaker and intra-speaker variation diverge in their root causes and characteristics. Therefore, a successful approach to one may not always transfer to the other. Intertalker variation, or indexical ...
متن کاملExploring speaker characteristics for meeting summarization
In this paper, we investigate using meeting-specific characteristics to improve extractive meeting summarization, in particular, speaker-related attributes (such as verboseness, gender, native language, role in the meeting). A rich set of speaker-sensitive features are developed in the supervised learning framework. We perform experiments on the ICSI meeting corpus. Results are evaluated using ...
