The Prosody Module (2000)

Anton Batliner, Jan Buckow, Heinrich Niemann, Elmar Noth, Volker Warnke

Abstract. We describe the acoustic-prosodic and syntactic-prosodic annotation and classification of boundaries, accents and sentence mood integrated in the Verbmobil system for the three languages...

Prosodic Feature Evaluation: Brute Force or Well Designed (1999)

Anton Batliner, Jan Buckow, Richard Huber, Volker Warnke, Elmar Noth, Heinrich Niemann

In this paper we want to bridge the gap between phonetic /phonological theory on the one hand and automatic speech processing on the other hand. As material, we use a subset of the German VERBMOBIL...

Jan Buckow, Volker Warnke, Richard Huber, Anton Batliner, Elmar Noeth, Heinrich Niemann

Abstract. In our previous research, we have shown that prosody can be used to dramatically improve the performance of the automatic speech translation system Verbmobil [5, 7, 8]. In Verbmobil,...

How to Label Accent Position in Spontaneous Speech Automatically With the Help of Syntactic-Prosodic Boundary Labels (1998)

N Oth, Elmar N Oth, Anton Batliner, Anton Batliner, Anton Batliner, ...

In this paper, we describe an approach that allows us to annotate accent position in German spontaneous speech with the help of syntactic--prosodic phrase boundary labels (the so-- called M labels)....
