Modelling Speech Repairs in German and Mandarin Chinese Spoken Dialogues
نویسنده
چکیده
Results presented in this paper strongly support the notion that similarities as well as differences in language systems can be empirically investigated by looking into the linguistic patterns of speech repairs in real speech data. A total of 500 Gemmn and 325 Mandarin Chinese overt immediate speech repairs were analysed with regard to their internal phrasal structures, with particular focus on the syntactic and morphological characteristics. Computational models in the form of finite state automata (FSA) also illustrate the describable regularity of German and Mandarin Chinese speech repairs in a formal way.

Spoken language identification using large vocabulary speech recognition
A task independent spoken Language Identi cation (LID) system which uses a Large Vocabulary Automatic Speech Recognition (LVASR) module for each language to choose the most likely language spoken is described in detail. The system has been trained on 5 languages: English, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. In this paper it is demonstrated that the performance of a LID system which ...
متن کاملSpeaker intention modeling for large vocabulary Mandarin spoken dialogues
This paper presents a statistical speaker intention modeling approach of speech act types (SAT’s)[1] prediction for large vocabulary Mandarin spoken dialogues. A SAT is an abstraction of speaker’s intention in terms of the type of action that the speaker intends by the utterance. With this approach, spoken dialogue systems can be constructed to predict speaker’s intention and make a proper acti...
متن کاملCorrecting Chinese Repetition Repairs In Spontaneous Speech
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 ...
متن کاملDetection and correction of speech repairs in word lattices
Speech repairs occur often in spontaneous spoken dialogues. The ability to detect and correct those repairs is necessary for every spoken language system. We present a framework to detect and correct speech repairs where all relevant levels of information, i.e., acoustics, lexic, syntax and semantics could be integrated. The basic idea is to reduce the search space for repairs as soon as possib...
متن کاملCorrection of disfluencies in spontaneous speech using a noisy-channel approach
In this paper we present a system which automatically corrects disfluencies such as repairs and restarts typically occurring in spontaneously spoken speech. The system is based on a noisy-channel model and its development requires no linguistic knowledge, but only annotated texts. Therefore, it has large potential for rapid deployment and the adaptation to new target languages. The experiments ...
