Prosodic Word Grouping with Global Probability Estimation Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a global prosodic word grouping probability estimation method is proposed. By using some statistical probabilities of four kinds of lexical word position types, the optimum prosodic word grouping path of a sentence can be obtained with the dynamic programming approach. In addition, some statistical and rule punish or encourage strategies have been used to improve the accuracy of prosodic word grouping. Lastly, experiment results and discussion are presented.

Prosodic Word Grouping in Mandarin TTS System
This paper reports the methodology and results of prosodic word grouping for a Mandarin TTS system developed by the Fujitsu Laboratories. In view of any inner prosodic word break will make speech unintelligible or unnatural, a new prosodic word grouping framework is proposed. The word segmentation result can be regarded as an initial prosodic word sequence with grids inserted into each word bou...
متن کاملProsodic Word Prediction Using a Maximum Entropy Approach
As the basic prosodic unit, the prosodic word influences the naturalness and the intelligibility greatly. Although the research shows that the lexicon word are greatly different from the prosodic word, the lexicon word still provides the important cues for the prosodic word forming. The rhythm constraint is another important factor for the prosodic word prediction. Some lexicon word length patt...
متن کاملEffects of compatible versus competing rhythmic grouping on errors and timing variability in speech.
In typical speech words are grouped into prosodic constituents. This study investigates how such grouping interacts with segmental sequencing patterns in the production of repetitive word sequences. We experimentally manipulated grouping behavior using a rhythmic repetition task to elicit speech for perceptual and acoustic analysis to test the hypothesis that prosodic structure and patterns of ...

In this study, considering the effect of phrase grouping in spontaneous speech, prosodic words, instead of lexical words, are adopted as the units for error correction of speech recognition results. The prosodic words and the corresponding mis-recognized word fragments are obtained from a speech database to construct a mis-recognized word fragment table for the extracted prosodic words. For eac...

The study discusses the role of prosodic grouping in the Mandarin Relative Clause attachment disambiguation. The grouping effect is explored under the Implicit Prosody Hypothesis (IPH) from four aspects of sentence processing experiments: default production, contrast production, online processing, as well as offline processing. It is found that (1) the length of RC greatly impacts ambiguity res...
