Document summarization approaches are broadly classified into two i.e. extractive summarization approach and abstractive summarization approach. In this paper, we performed single document summarization to generate summary of Telugu text document by using extractive summarization approach. Though there are many document surface features exists, we consider those features which can extensively cover original document and generates summary with less redundancy. We considered the features such as sentence position, sentence similarity with the title, centrality of the sentence and word frequency. To increase the strength of the features, we used a corpus which contains 3000 documents and performed various preprocessing steps like stop word elimination and stemming to retain more meaningful words within the sentence. Sentences are ranked by calculating the scores for each individual sentence by considering all four features simultaneously with optimum weights. The optimum weights to the feature are learned with the help human constructed summaries. The machine generated summaries are evaluated using F1 measure followed by human judgements.","PeriodicalId":297167,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Asian Language Processing","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125013016","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 paper, a three dimensional English articulation database is recorded using Carstens Electro-Magnetic Articulograph (EMA AG500). An HMM-based visual synthesis method for continuous speech is implemented to recover 3D articulatory information. The synthesized articulations are then compared to the EMA recordings for objective evaluation. Using a data-driven 3D talking head, the distinctions between the confusable phonemes can be depicted through both external and internal articulatory movements. The experiments have demonstrated that the HMM-based synthesis with limited training data can achieve the minimum RMS error of less than 2mm. The synthesized articulatory movements can be used for computer assisted pronunciation training.","PeriodicalId":297167,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Asian Language Processing","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129690948","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}

As natural language is highly variable and uncertain, it is impossible to build a complete and general language model to suit all the tasks. The traditional adaptive MAP models mix the task independent data with task dependent data using a mixture coefficient but we never can predict what style of language users have and what new domain will appear. This paper presents a statistical error-driven adaptive language modeling approach to Chinese Pinyin input system. This model can be incrementally adapted when an error occurs during Pinyin-to-Character converting time.

Every speaker identifies an optimal vowel space within which perceptual, phonological contrast is maintained. This is an interdisciplinary study involving speech pathology, physics of speech and neurology of speech. Two case studies of dysarthria presented in this paper are -- one Parkinson's disease and one case of acute ischemic stroke with age-gender-language matched controls. A detailed acoustic analysis shows how acoustic space gets considerably reduced, in both PD and stroke, and in these two very different kinds of dysarthrias the acoustic space is also modified very differently. The study also examines the third formant to show that the higher formants are consistently lowered in both PD and stroke. Hypokinetic speech production in these cases is reflected in lower intensity. The results have significant applications in clinical acoustics and in the theoretical fields of neurology of speech, linguistics and phonology.","PeriodicalId":297167,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Asian Language Processing","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116357609","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}
