Discriminative models for spoken language understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies several discriminative models for spoken language understanding (SLU). While all of them fall into the conditional model framework, different optimization criteria lead to conditional random fields, perceptron, minimum classification error and large margin models. The paper discusses the relationship amongst these models and compares them in terms of accuracy, training speed and robustness.

Concept segmentation and labeling for conversational speech
Spoken Language Understanding performs automatic concept labeling and segmentation of speech utterances. For this task, many approaches have been proposed based on both generative and discriminative models. While all these methods have shown remarkable accuracy on manual transcription of spoken utterances, robustness to noisy automatic transcription is still an open issue. In this paper we stud...
متن کاملA Discriminative Approach to Grounded Spoken Language Understanding in Interactive Robotics
Spoken Language Understanding in Interactive Robotics provides computational models of human-machine communication based on the vocal input. However, robots operate in specific environments and the correct interpretation of the spoken sentences depends on the physical, cognitive and linguistic aspects triggered by the operational environment. Grounded language processing should exploit both the...
متن کاملRe-Ranking Models for Spoken Language Understanding
Spoken Language Understanding aims at mapping a natural language spoken sentence into a semantic representation. In the last decade two main approaches have been pursued: generative and discriminative models. The former is more robust to overfitting whereas the latter is more robust to many irrelevant features. Additionally, the way in which these approaches encode prior knowledge is very diffe...
متن کاملDiscriminative methods for improving named entity extraction on speech data
In this paper we present a method of discriminatively training language models for spoken language understanding; we show improvements in named entity F-scores on speech data using these improved language models. A comparison between theoretical probabilities associated with manual markup and the actual probabilities of output markup is used to identify probabilities requiring adjustment. We pr...
متن کاملA Factored Discriminative Spoken Language Understanding for Spoken Dialogue Systems
This paper describes a factored discriminative spoken language understanding method suitable for real-time parsing of recognised speech. It is based on a set of logistic regression classifiers, which are used to map input utterances into dialogue acts. The proposed method is evaluated on a corpus of spoken utterances from the Public Transport Information (PTI) domain. In PTI, users can interact...
