Correcting Chinese Repetition Repairs In Spontaneous Speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
Disfluencies involving speech repairs pose serious problems for spoken language processing systems. However, which cues in speech signals may facilitate Chinese repair processing is not known. This paper concerns the acoustic and prosodic analysis for correcting Chinese repetition repairs in spontaneous speech. A large spoken corpus is examined in this study. The experimental results show that our method can achieve the precision rate of 93.87% and the recall rate of 90.65%, without using the lexical information.

Using acoustic and prosodic cues to correct Chinese speech repairs
Speech repairs introduce much noise in spoken language processing. Properly correcting speech repairs can help the speech recognizer to avoid the textual errors, and prevent the interpretation errors during the subsequent processing. Because the task of repair processing cannot defer to the latter (word segmentation, part-of-speech tagging and sentence parsing) stages, this paper employs acoust...
متن کاملDetecting and Correcting Speech Repairs in Japanese
One of the characteristics of spontaneous speech is the abundance of speech repairs, in which speakers go back and repeat or change something they have just said. In other work [7], we proposed a language model for speech recognition that can detect and correct speech repairs in English. In this paper, we show that this model works equally as well on a Japanese corpus of spontaneous speech. The...
متن کاملModeling Speech Repairs and Intonational Phrasing to Improve Speech Recognition
The spontaneous speech events of speech repairs and intonational phrasing cause disruptions in the local context, and this disruption prevents traditional language models from being able to properly predict the words in the vicinity of these events. The solution is to use a language model that can account for these spontaneous speech events. In this paper, we use such a model to rescore word gr...
متن کاملApplying Repair Processing in Chinese Homophone Disambiguation
Repair processing plays an important role in spoken language processing systems. This paper proposes a method for correcting Chinese repetition repairs and demonstrates the effects of repair processing in Chinese homophone disambiguation. The experimental results show that the precision rate of 93.87% and the recall rate of 90.65% can be achieved for the repair processing. At the same time, 50%...
متن کاملIntegrating Multiple Knowledge Sources for Detection and Correction of Repairs in Human-Computer Dialog
We have analyzed 607 sentences of spontaneous human-computer speech data containing repairs, drawn from a total corpus of 10,718 sentences. We present here criteria and techniques for automatically detecting the presence of a repair, its location, and making the appropriate correction. The criteria involve integration of knowledge from several sources: pattern matching, syntactic and semantic a...
