Mtrans: A Multi-Channel, Multi-Tier Speech Annotation Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
MTRANS, a freely available tool for annotating multi-channel speech is presented. This software tool is designed to provide visual and aural display flexibility required for transcribing multi-party conversations; in particular, it eases the analysis of speech overlaps by overlaying waveforms and spectrograms (with controllable transparency), and the mapping from media channels to annotation tiers by allowing arbitrary associations between them. MTRANS supports interoperability with other tools via the Open Sound Control protocol.

MuLAS: a framework for automatically building multi-tier corpora
The Multi-Level Alignment System (MuLAS) is the L2F tool for building multi-tier speech corpora with reduced or no human intervention at all. MuLAS automatically combines information coming from external speech annotations, human or machine-generated, with the text-based utterance descriptions that it creates, in order to build more reliable and complete descriptions of the spoken utterances. T...

متن کاملDevelopment of an Annotation Scheme for Emotionally Relevant Behavior in Multiparty Meeting Speech
We present the development of an annotation scheme for labeling emotions and emotion-related phenomena in multi-party meetings. Our initial experiments suggest that when attempting to characterize emotional episodes, people show preference for describing the intentions and coping behaviors of speakers rather than inferring their emotional state. Accordingly, we propose a pragmatic annotation sc...
متن کاملInterference-Aware and Cluster Based Multicast Routing in Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks
Multicast routing is one of the most important services in Multi Radio Multi Channel (MRMC) Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). Multicast routing performance in WMNs could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. In this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in WMNs. The channels...
