We show that the RF approach can be successfully implemented for language modeling of an inflectional language. Performance of word-based and morphological DTs and RFs was evaluated on lecture recognition task. We show that while DTs perform worse than conventional trigram language models (LM), RFs of both kind outperform the latter. WER (up to 3.4% relative) and perplexity (10%) reduction over the trigram model can be gained with morphological RFs. Further improvement is obtained after interpolation of DT and RF LMs with the trigram one (up to 15.6% perplexity and 4.8% WER relative reduction). In this paper we also investigate distribution of morphological feature types chosen for splitting data at different levels of DTs.","PeriodicalId":186876,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121807411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, a feature selection algorithm has been used to assess the relevancy of the different features. Gaussian mixtures models have been used to model the features extracted at the frame-level, while support vector machines (SVM) and k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) methods have been used to model the features extracted at the utterance level. We use a normalization approach (T-norm) to combine the scores from the different models. The results using the above approach are reported for the Berlin emotional database corpus and the task consisted of classifying the six emotions namely - anger, happiness, neutral, sadness, boredom and anxiety. We show that the use of feature selection algorithm improves the result, while in addition the fusion of GMM and SVM results in an overall accuracy of 75.4% for the above task.","PeriodicalId":186876,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127151341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study we propose a pragmatic approach to automatically repair ASR outputs by taking into account linguistic and acoustic information, using formal rules or stochastic methods. The proposed strategy consists in developing a specific correction solution for each specific kind of errors. In this paper, we apply this strategy on two case studies specific to French language. We show that it is possible, on automatic transcriptions of French broadcast news, to decrease the error rate of a specific error by 11.4% in one of two the case studies, and 86.4% in the other one. These results are encouraging and show the interest of developing more specific solutions to cover a wider set of errors in a future work.","PeriodicalId":186876,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128957470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is increasingly severe when extracting long-distance regularities for high-order n-gram model. Rather than considering discrete word space, we construct the continuous space of word sequence where the latent topic information is extracted. The continuous vector is formed by the topic posterior probabilities and the least-squares projection matrix from discrete word space to continuous topic space is estimated accordingly. The unseen words can be predicted through the new continuous latent topic language model. In the experiments on continuous speech recognition, we obtain significant performance improvement over the conventional topic-based language model.","PeriodicalId":186876,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116273104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CE is a useful metric for tracking the overall performance of a system in deployment, as well as for isolating individual problematic calls in which the system underperforms. The proposed CE metric differs from most performance evaluation metrics proposed in the past in that it is a) a subjective, qualitative rating of the call, and b) provided by expert, external listeners, not the callers themselves. The results of an experiment in which a set of human experts listened to the same calls three times are presented. The fact that these results show a high level of agreement among different listeners, despite the subjective nature of the task, demonstrates the validity of using CE as a standard metric. Finally, an automated rating system using objective measures is shown to perform at the same high level as the humans. This is an important advance, since it provides a way to reduce the human labor costs associated with producing a reliable CE.","PeriodicalId":186876,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127400180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report our experience while creating the first version of a tutoring dialogue system that helps the user cook a selected dish. Having a working framework to support us with the creation of the cooking assistant, the main challenge we faced was the change of paradigm: instead of the system being driven by the user, the user is instructed by the system. The result is a system capable of dictating generic contents to the user. On top of it, the system can be used in several domains where the goal is not the replacement of the user but providing some assistance while (s)he performs some procedural task.","PeriodicalId":186876,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124710626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
