Using Structural Information to Detect Speech Repairs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous approaches to detecting and correcting speech repairs have for the most part separated these two problems. In this paper, we present a statistical model of speech repairs that uses information about the postulated repair structure (correction) to help decide whether a speech repair actually occurred. By better modeling the interactions between detection and correction , we are able to improve our detection results.

Detection and correction of speech repairs in word lattices
Speech repairs occur often in spontaneous spoken dialogues. The ability to detect and correct those repairs is necessary for every spoken language system. We present a framework to detect and correct speech repairs where all relevant levels of information, i.e., acoustics, lexic, syntax and semantics could be integrated. The basic idea is to reduce the search space for repairs as soon as possib...

We report on the success of a two-pass approach to annotating metadata, speech effects and syntactic structure in English conversational speech: separately annotating transcribed speech for structural metadata, or structural events, (fillers, speech repairs ( or edit dysfluencies) and SUs, or syntactic/semantic units) and for syntactic structure (treebanking constituent structure and shallow ar...
متن کاملDetecting and Correcting Speech Repairs in Japanese
One of the characteristics of spontaneous speech is the abundance of speech repairs, in which speakers go back and repeat or change something they have just said. In other work [7], we proposed a language model for speech recognition that can detect and correct speech repairs in English. In this paper, we show that this model works equally as well on a Japanese corpus of spontaneous speech. The...
