On the influence of hyperarticulated speech on recognition performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since we cannot exclude that speech recognizers fail sometimes, it is important to examine how users react to recognition errors. In correction situations, speaking style becomes more accentuated to disambiguate the original mistake. We examine the effect of speaking style in such situations on speech recognition performance. Our results indicate that hyperarticulated effects occur in correction situations and decrease word accuracy significantly.

Compensating hyperarticulation for automatic speech recognition
This thesis details the effects of hyperarticulation in the context of automatic speech recognition used for human-to-machine interaction. Hyperarticulation can be characterised as a speaking mode exhibiting an exaggerated articulation and occurs as a natural reaction in an effort to resolve recognition errors. Despite the user’s attempt to disambiguate word confusions, hyperarticulation causes...
متن کاملAnalysis and synthesis of hypo- and hyperarticulated speech
This paper focuses on the analysis and synthesis of hypo and hyperarticulated speech in the framework of HMM-based speech synthesis. First of all, a new French database matching our needs was created, which contains three identical sets, pronounced with three different degrees of articulation: neutral, hypo and hyperarticulated speech. On that basis, acoustic and phonetic analyses were performe...
متن کاملSpecialized acoustic models for hyperarticulated speech
This study aims to improve the performance of automatic speech recognizers at hyperarticulated speech. Hyperarticulation often occur as a strategy to recover previous recognition errors in spoken dialogue systems. Contrary to this intention a signiicant performance degradation can be observed at hyperarticulation. In this paper we present an analysis of features that caused the performance lost...
متن کاملAcoustic-phonetic characteristics of hyperarticulated speech for different speaking styles
This study aims to describe differences between hyperarticulated and normal speech. Hyperarticulated, or clear speech is produced when addressing to hearingimpaired listeners. It also appears quite often in spoken language systems as the user’s reaction on previous recognition errors. In this paper we present a comparison of the acoustic-phonetic characteristics of normal and hyperarticulated s...
متن کاملCompensating for Hyperartic Articulatory Pro
In spoken dialogue systems, hyperarticulation occur as an effect to recover previous recognition errors. It is commonly observed that users of automatic speech recognition systems apply similar recovery strategies as in human-human interactions. Previous studies have shown that current speech recognizers don’t cover hyperarticulated speech well. As an effect of higher word error rates at hypera...
