Prosodic Information for Speech Understanding Systems.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA049298 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The goal of this project was to use prosodic information to aid speech recognition systems. Naturalistic speech data was collected and used to test and develop hypotheses about the relationship of prosodic information to the syntactic and semantic structure of English sentences. Members of the project interacted closely with other members of the ARPA SUR project. A series of SUR notes describing acoustic features of prosodies, phonological rules, stress rules, etc. were produced.
