Prosody based attitude recognition with feature selection and its application to spoken dialog system as para-linguistic information

چکیده
In this paper, prosody-based attitude recognition and its application to a spoken dialog system are proposed. Paralinguistic information plays a important role in the human communication. We aimed to recognize the user’s attitude by prosody, and apply it to a spoken dialog system as para-linguistic information. In order to find important features to recognize the attitude from automatically extracted features, we applied some feature selection methods. Experimental results show the stepwise method, a combination of the forward selection method and the backward selection method, achieved the best recognition rate. Finally, the dialog system using the recognition results as para-linguistic information is shown.

Spoken Dialogue System Using Prosody as Para-Linguistic Information
An attitude recognizer of a speaker which uses prosodic features of speech is proposed and it is successfully applied to the dialogue system aiming at agreement formation. We use not only linguistic information but also some sorts of additional information supporting linguistic information in our human communication. In agreement formation dialogues, we are often required to express our attitud...
متن کاملAnger Recognition in Spoken Dialog Using Linguistic and Para-Linguistic Information
This paper proposes a method to recognize anger-dialog based on linguistic and para-linguistic information in speech. Anger is classified into two types; HotAnger (agitated) and ColdAnger (calm). Conventional prosody-features based on para-linguistic can reliably recognize the former but not the latter. To recognize anger more robustly, we apply other para-linguistic cues named dialog-features ...
متن کاملUsing Prosodic Cues in Spoken Dialog Systems
In this paper we show how prosody can be used in spoken dialog systems. First, we describe the phenomena that prosodic analysis is concerned with and give examples why prosody is relevant in the context of spoken dialog processing. Then we examine prosody in the light of pattern classification. We show how prosodic events can be categorized. We detail how those prosodic events manifest themselv...

متن کاملRobust Parsing of Spoken Dialogue Using Contextual Knowledge and Recognition Probabilities
In this paper we describe the linguistic processor of a spoken dialogue system. The parser receives a word graph from the recognition module as its input. Its task is to find the best path through the graph. If no complete solution can be found, a robust mechanism for selecting multiple partial results is applied. We show how the information content rate of the results can be improved if the se...
