Linguistic Model Adaptation for Speech Summarisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we extend the work done on the two-stage summarisation method described in [1] by focusing on adapting the linguistic component to make it more suited for the summarisation task. In particular we examine methods for adapting the linguistic models (LiM) automatically to improve performance, using either unigram, bi-gram or trigram information from different sources of data. Experiments were performed both on spontaneous speech, using 9 talks taken from the Translanguage English Database (TED) corpus [2], and speech read from text, using 5 talks from CNN broadcast news from 1998. For each of those talks, human (TRS) and speech recogniser (ASR) transcriptions along with human summaries were used. The talks were used for both development and evaluation with a rotating form of cross-validation [3]. The objective measure of summary quality used in this paper is summarisation accuracy (SumACCY) [4]. The full process is described in [5].

Class Model Adaptation for Speech Summarisation
The performance of automatic speech summarisation has been improved in previous experiments by using linguistic model adaptation. We extend such adaptation to the use of class models, whose robustness further improves summarisation performance on a wider variety of objective evaluation metrics such as ROUGE-2 and ROUGE-SU4 used in the text summarisation literature. Summaries made from automatic...
متن کاملPerplexity based linguistic model adaptation for speech summarisation
The performance of automatic speech summarisation has been improved in previous experiments by using linguistic model adaptation. One of the problems encountered was the high computational cost and low efficiency of the development phase. In this paper we compare our original development approach of evaluating summaries produced by an exhaustive search over all parameters with a much faster dev...
متن کاملSpeaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...

متن کاملSpeech Recognition Using Dynamical Model of Speech Production
We propose a speech recognition method based on the dynamical model of speech production. The model consists of an articulator and its control command sequences. The latter has linguistic information of speech and the former has the articulatory information which determines transformation from linguistic intentions to speech signals. This separation makes our speech recognition model more contr...
