Generating spontaneous elliptical utterance
نویسندگان
چکیده
To generate spontaneous utterances, it is important to omit some items from them appropriately. Previously, generation of elliptical utterances is discussed only from a view of whether an item in question is known or unknown in the context of dialogue. We point out that some items that are already known should not be omitted in some situation. For example, omitting too many items from utterances makes a hearer to feel that the speaker is impolite. In this paper, we propose some strategies to generate appropriate elliptical English utterances, given a politeness level. Our system can translate utterances with no ellipses into appropriate elliptical utterances using the strategies. The strategies are obtained by analysis of some dialogues. But we show that they are applicable to other dialogues.

This paper addresses speaker adaptation of language model in large vocabulary spontaneous speech recognition. In spontaneous speech, the expression and pronunciation of words vary a lot depending on the speaker and topic. Therefore, we present unsupervised methods of language model adaptation to a specific speaker by (1) making direct use of the initial recognition result for generating an enha...
متن کاملProsodic Features of Utterances in the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese: Intonation Phrase–based Approach
It is unclear how the prosodic features in long spontaneous speech change. We focused on the F0 declination of an utterance to investigate the F0 transition by taking into consideration the length and syntactic structure of a Japanese utterance. In the case of an utterance without a strong syntactic boundary, the F0 range is fixed to a certain width, and the F0s decline toward the end of the ut...
متن کاملA Pragmatics-Based Approach to Ellipsis Resolution
Intersentential elliptical utterances occur frequently during information-seeking dialogs in task domains. This paper presents a pragmatics-based framework for interpreting such utterances. Discourse expectations and focusing heuristics are used to facilitate recognition of an information-seeker's intent in uttering an elliptical fragment. The ellipsis is comprehended by identifying both the as...
