Are Morphosyntactic Taggers Suitable to Improve Automatic Transcription?

چکیده
The aim of our paper is to study the interest of part of speech (POS) tagging to improve speech recognition. We first evaluate the part of misrecognized words that can be corrected using POS information; the analysis of a short extract of French radio broadcast news shows that an absolute decrease of the word error rate by 1.1% can be expected. We also demonstrate quantitatively that traditional POS taggers are reliable when applied to spoken corpus, including automatic transcriptions. This new result enables us to effectively use POS tag knowledge to improve, in a postprocessing stage, the quality of transcriptions, especially correcting agreement errors.

Linguistic variations and morphosyntactic annotation of Latin classical texts
This paper assesses the performance of three taggers (MBT, TnT and TreeTagger) when used for the morphosyntactic annotation of classical Latin texts. With this aim in view, we selected the training corpora, -as well as the samples used for tests-, from the texts of the LASLA database. The texts were chosen according to their ability to allow testing of the taggers sensitivity to stylistic, diac...
متن کاملMorphosyntactic Tagging of Slovene: Evaluating Taggers and Tagsets
The paper evaluates tagging techniques on a corpus of Slovene, where we are faced with a large number of possible word-class tags and only a small (hand-tagged) dataset. We report on training and testing of four different taggers on the Slovene MULTEXT-East corpus containing about 100.000 words and 1000 different morphosyntactic tags. Results show, first of all, that training times of the Maxim...
متن کاملImproving Morphosyntactic Tagging of Slovene Language through Meta-tagging
Part-of-speech (PoS) or, better, morphosyntactic tagging is the process of assigning morphosyntactic categories to words in a text, an important pre-processing step for most human language technology applications. PoS-tagging of Slovene texts is a challenging task since the size of the tagset is over one thousand tags (as opposed to English, where the size is typically around sixty) and the sta...
متن کاملTaggers Gonna Tag: An Argument against Evaluating Disambiguation Capacities of Morphosyntactic Taggers
Usually tagging of inflectional languages is performed in two stages: morphological analysis and morphosyntactic disambiguation. A number of papers have been published where the evaluation is limited to the second part, without asking the question of what a tagger is supposed to do. In this article we highlight this important question and discuss possible answers. We also argue that a fair eval...
متن کاملMulti-source morphosyntactic tagging for spoken Rusyn
This paper deals with the development of morphosyntactic taggers for spoken varieties of the Slavic minority language Rusyn. As neither annotated corpora nor parallel corpora are electronically available for Rusyn, we propose to combine existing resources from the etymologically close Slavic languages Russian, Ukrainian, Slovak, and Polish and adapt them to Rusyn. Using MarMoT as tagging toolki...
