Boiling down Prosody for the Classification of Boundaries and Accents in (2008)
German And English, Anton Batliner, Jan Buckow, Richard Huber, Volker Warnke, Elmar Nöth, ...
In the focus of this paper is a comparison of the most relevant prosodic features/feature classes for the classification of boundaries and accents in German and in English. Principal components were...
A Segment Based Approach for Prosodic Boundary Detection (2007)
Volker Warnke, Elmar Noth, Heinrich Niemann, Georg Stemmer
Abstract. Successful detection of the position of prosodic phrase boundaries is useful for the rescoring of the sentence hypotheses in a speech recognition system. In addition, knowledge about...
Chair for Pattern Recognition (2007)
Anton Batliner, Elmar N Oth, Jan Buckow, Richard Huber, Volker Warnke, Heinrich Niemann
For the classification of boundaries and accents in German and English spontaneous speech in the VERBMOBIL project (speech to speech translation system), we use a large prosodic feature vector;...
Elmar Noth, Manuela Boros, Jurgen Haas, Volker Warnke, Florian Gallwitz
Linguistic processing in spoken dialogue systems has to be robust against a large number of phenomena such as recognizer errors, spontaneous speech phenomena and out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. A...
Florian Gallwitz, Stefan Harbeck, Volker Warnke
In our paper, we address the problem of estimating stochastic language models based on n-gram statistics. We present a novel approach, rational interpolation, for the combination of a competing set...
DETECTION OF PROSODIC EVENTS USING ACOUSTIC-PROSODIC FEATURES AND PART-OF-SPEECH TAGS (2007)
Prosody is used to improve the performance of the automatic speech translation system VERBMOBIL [8]. In our earlier work we have developed efficient and robust word-based features that describe F0,...
MULTI-LINGUAL PROSODIC PROCESSING (2007)
Jan Buckow, Richard Huber, Volker Warnke, Anton Batliner, Elmar Noeth, Heinrich Niemann
In our previous research, we have shown that prosody can be used to dramatically improve the performance of the automatic speech translation system VERBMOBIL [9]. The methods to classify prosodic...

Whence and whither prosody in automatic speech understanding: a case study (2001)
Anton Batliner, Elmar N Oth, Jan Buckow, Richard Huber, Volker Warnke, Heinrich Niemann
The `case ' this paper is dealing with is prosody research at the Chair for Pattern Recognition at the University of Erlangen--Nuremberg during the last fifteen years. We want to show how this...

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...
Fast and Robust Features for Prosodic Classification (1999)
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,...
Using Phrase Accent Information for Dialogue Act Recognition in Spontaneous German Speech (1999)
Matthias Nutt, Anton Batliner, Volker Warnke, Elmar Nöth, Elmar N Oth
This paper describes an approach in which phrase accent information is used for dialogue act recognition in German spontaneous speech. This application is an example of how automatically computed...
A Concept for a Prosodically and Statistically Driven Chunky Semantic Parser (1998)
Jurgen Haas, Manuela Boros, Elmar Noth, Volker Warnke, Heinrich Niemann
Abstract. In spoken dialog systems typically just a small set of predefined information has to be provided to the system in order to accomplish its task. We present here a concept for a partial...
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)....
How Statistics and Prosody can guide a Chunky Parser (1998)
Manuela Boros, Jürgen Haas, Elmar Nöth, Volker Warnke, Heinrich Niemann
Introduction Following the most common architecture of spoken dialog systems as shown in Figure 1, the main task of linguistic processing is to yield a semantic representation of what the user said....
