The purpose is to detect and reject incorrect entries (i.e. those for which the speech signal does not correspond at all to the associated text) while being tolerant to the mispronunciations of non-native speech. The proposed approach exploits the comparison between two text-to-speech alignments : one constrained by the text which is being checked, with another one unconstrained, corresponding to a phonetic decoding. Several comparison criteria are described and combined via a logistic regression function. The article analyzes the influence of different settings, such as the impact of non-native pronunciation variants, the impact of learning the decision functions on native or on non-native speech, as well as the impact of combining various comparison criteria. The performance evaluations are conducted both on native and on non-native speech.","PeriodicalId":375378,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop (SLT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121431058","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 discuss various performance measures of the crowdsourcing process, and analyze the semantic correctness, naturalness, and biases of the collected language.

This paper proposes two recognition rate estimation methods for continuous speech recognition. The first is an easy-to-use method based on a word alignment network (WAN) obtained from a word confusion network through simple conversion procedures. A WAN contains the correct (C), substitution error (S), insertion error (I) and deletion error (D) probabilities word-by-word for a recognition result. By summing these CSID probabilities individually, the percent correct and word accuracy (WACC) can be estimated without using a reference transcription. The second more advanced method refines the CSID probabilities provided by a WAN based on discriminative error type classification (ETC) and estimates the recognition rates more accurately. In the experiments on the MIT lecture speech corpus, we obtained 0.97 of correlation coefficient between the true WACCs calculated by a scoring tool using reference transcriptions and the WACCs estimated from the discriminative ETC results.","PeriodicalId":375378,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop (SLT)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122714204","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}

Latent topic modeling has traditionally been applied to bag-of-words representations that ignore word sequence information that can aid in semantic understanding. In this work we introduce a method for efficiently incorporating arbitrarily long word sequences into a topic modeling approach. This method iteratively constructs a constrained set of phrase trees in an unsupervised fashion from a document collection using weighted pointwise mutual information statistics to guide the process. In experiments on the Fisher Corpus of conversational speech, the incorporation of learned phrases into a latent topic model yielded significant improvements in the unsupervised discovery of the known topics present within the data.","PeriodicalId":375378,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop (SLT)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116512471","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}

A statistical dialog manager selects the system actions the system should take based on the features derived from the current dialog state and/or the system's belief state. When defining the features used by the system for training the dialog policy, however, finding a set of actually effective features from potentially useful ones is not obvious. In addition, the selection should be done simultaneously with the optimization of the dialog policy. In this paper, we propose an incremental feature selection method for the optimization of a dialog policy by RL, in which improvement of the dialog policy and the feature selection are conducted simultaneously. Experiments in dialog policy optimization by RL with a user simulator demonstrated the following: 1) that the proposed method can find a better dialog policy with fewer policy iterations and 2) the learning speed is comparable with the case where feature selection is conducted in advance.","PeriodicalId":375378,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop (SLT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121621114","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}
