Title
Exploiting Acoustic and Syntactic Features for Prosody Labeling in a Maximum Entropy Framework
Abstract
In this paper we describe an automatic prosody labeling framework that exploits both language and speech information. We model the syntactic-prosodic informa- tion with a maximum entropy model that achieves an accuracy of 85.2% and 91.5% for pitch accent and boundary tone la- beling on the Boston University Radio News corpus. We model the acoustic- prosodic stream with two dierent mod- els, one a maximum entropy model and the other a traditional HMM. We finally couple the syntactic-prosodic and acoustic- prosodic components to achieve signifi- cantly improved pitch accent and bound- ary tone classification accuracies of 86.0% and 93.1% respectively. Similar experimen- tal results are also reported on Boston Di- rections corpus.
