A Skip-Chain Conditional Random Field for Ranking Meeting Utterances by Importance

Abstract - Cited by 65 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart We describe a probabilistic approach to content selection for meeting summarization. We use skipchain Conditional Random Fields (CRF) to model non-local pragmatic dependencies between paired utterances such as QUESTION-ANSWER that typically appear together in summaries, and show that these models outperform linear-chain CRFs and Bayesian models in the task. We also discuss different approaches for ranking all utterances in a sequence using CRFs. Our best performing system achieves 91.3 % of human performance when evaluated with the Pyramid evaluation metric, which represents a 3.9 % absolute increase compared to our most competitive non-sequential classifier. 1

Abstract - Cited by 24 (3 self) - Add to MetaCart We examine prosodic and contextual factors characterizing the backchannel function of single affirmative words. Data is drawn from collaborative task-oriented dialogues between speakers of Standard American English. Despite high lexical variability, backchannels are prosodically well defined: they have higher pitch and intensity and greater pitch slope than affirmative words expressing other pragmatic functions. Additionally, we identify phrase-final rising pitch as a salient trigger for backchanneling.

As interactive voice response systems spread at a rapid pace, providing an increasingly more complex functionality, it is becoming clear that the challenges of such systems are not solely associated to their synthesis and recognition capabilities. Rather, issues such as the coordination of turn exchanges between system and user, or the correct generation and understanding of words that may convey multiple meanings, appear to play an important role in system usability. This thesis explores those two issues in the Columbia Games Corpus, a collection of spontaneous task-oriented dialogues in Standard American English. We provide evidence of the existence of seven turn-yielding cues — prosodic, acoustic and syntactic events strongly associated with conversational turn endings — and show that the likelihood of a turn-taking attempt from the interlocutor increases linearly with the number of cues conjointly displayed by the speaker. We present similar results related to six backchannel-inviting cues — events that invite the interlocutor to produce a short utterance conveying continued attention. Additionally, we describe a series of studies of affirmative cue words — a family of cue words such as okay or alright that speakers use frequently in conversation for several

Abstract - Cited by 19 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart We examine the effect of contextual and acoustic cues in the disambiguation of three discourse-pragmatic functions of the word okay. Results of a perception study show that contextual cues are stronger predictors of discourse function than acoustic cues. However, acoustic features capturing the pitch excursion at the right edge of okay feature prominently in disambiguation, whether other contextual cues are present or not. 1

Abstract - Cited by 16 (10 self) - Add to MetaCart The intonational realizations of statements and declarative questions in American English are studied by examining their interaction with focus and word stress. Results of F0 analyses indicate that 1) statements and declarative questions start to diverge from the stressed syllable of the first content word, 2) the pitch range of post-focus syllables is compressed and lowered in statements, but compressed and raised in questions, and 3) the pitch target of the stressed syllable in a content word is high or falling in statements but rising in questions, depending on the focus condition and the stress pattern of the word.

Abstract - Cited by 13 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart The authors present a visual articulation model for speech synthesis and a method to obtain it from measured data. This visual articulation model is integrated into MASSY, the Modular Audiovisual Speech SYnthesizer, and used to control visible articulator movements described by six motion parameters: one for the up-down movement of the lower jaw, three for the lips and two for the tongue. The visual articulation model implements the dominance principle as suggested by Löfqvist (1990). The parameter values for the model derive from measured articulator positions. To obtain these data, the articulation movements of a female speaker were measured with the 2D-articulograph AG100 and simultaneously filmed. The visual articulation model is adjusted and evaluated by testing word recognition in noise.

Abstract - Cited by 11 (5 self) - Add to MetaCart Abstract—Speech contains additional information than text that can be valuable for automatic speech summarization. In this paper, we evaluate how to effectively use acoustic/prosodic features for extractive meeting summarization, and how to integrate prosodic features with lexical and structural information for further improvement. To properly represent prosodic features, we propose different normalization methods based on speaker, topic, or local context information. Our experimental results show that using only the prosodic features we achieve better performance than using the non-prosodic information on both the human transcripts and recognition output. In addition, a decision-level combination of the prosodic and non-prosodic features yields further gain, outperforming the individual models. I.
