Identifying Speakers and Listeners of Quoted Speech in Literary Works
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first study that evaluates both speaker and listener identification for direct speech in literary texts. Our approach consists of two steps: identification of speakers and listeners near the quotes, and dialogue chain segmentation. Evaluation results show that this approach outperforms a rule-based approach that is stateof-the-art on a corpus of literary texts.

Using rule-based and statistical learning, our method identifies candidate characters, determines their genders, and...
متن کاملWord segmentation in Persian continuous speech using F0 contour
Word segmentation in continuous speech is a complex cognitive process. Previous research on spoken word segmentation has revealed that in fixed-stress languages, listeners use acoustic cues to stress to de-segment speech into words. It has been further assumed that stress in non-final or non-initial position hinders the demarcative function of this prosodic factor. In Persian, stress is retract...
متن کاملDemanding reductions - how massive reductions can be a burden on speech perception
One of the most important features of conversational speech is its variability. Two different speakers utter the same word very differently. Even the same word uttered by the same speaker twice, will not be identical. We also know that even small changes in the speech signal can hamper speech perception processes drastically. A simple change of segments can lead to problems for listeners identi...
متن کاملEffects of stimulus contents and speaker familiarity on perceptual speaker identification
1. Introduction In daily conversation, listeners use both phonological and speaker information of the utterance in order to achieve successful communication [1]. It is reported that the processing of the phonological content and that of the speaker identity occur separately, although they interact with each other [1,2]. One example of this interaction is that certain sounds are effective for pe...
