Multistream Recognition of Dialogue Acts in Meetings
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Preserved Fulltext
We propose a joint segmentation and classification approach for the dialogue act recognition task on natural multi-party meetings (ICSI Meeting Corpus). ...
Prosodic features and a switching graphical model are used to estimate DA boundaries, in conjunction with a factored language model which is used to relate words and DA categories. ...
Acknowledgment We thank Matthias Zimmermann and Elizabeth Shriberg for advice on broad DA categories. ...

The beginning and end of a discourse (or rhetorical) segment are also, of course, the beginning and end of a prosodic phrase, but the discourse boundary is distinguished from a (discourse-medial) prosodic ...

We evaluate our fusion strategy on spoken dialogues and demonstrate performance increases over state-ofthe-art models. ...
Starting from the assumption that acoustic-prosodic cues help identify important speech content, we investigate representation architectures that combine lexical and prosodic features and evaluate them ...
Evaluation Metrics To compare the various models, we evaluated their predictions on word importance with the test set of the Word Importance corpus, described in Section 4.1. ...

Here I propose a functional approach to prosodic speech timing, with particular reference to English. ...
In the resulting framework, prosodic structure is held to influence speech timing directly only at the heads and edges of prosodic domains, through large, consistent lengthening effects. ...
Evaluation of timing effects on the basis of their magnitude alone is additionally problematic because, given the manifold influences on segment duration, direct comparison between studies is near impossible ...
