  • Steps towards preparation of text corpora for data driven symbolic prosody labelling
    Stergar, Janez, 1968- ; Hozjan, Vladimir
    Automatic leraning techniques offer a solution in adapting prosodic models to a new voice or a new application, because they allow prosodic regularities to be automatticaly extracted from a prosodic ... database of natural speech. Such techniques unfortunately depend on the construction od a large corpus, which is generally hand-labeled. This labeling process is extremlly time-consuming, incosistent (labeler dependent) and is an obstacle in the process of rapidly adapting the prosody. Usually for language specific labeling a special language knowledge is needed. A step towards preparing labeled speech corpora with prosodic labels was taken. A simple tool, constructed for interactive annotation of prosody events using the segmented spoken counterpart of the raw ASCII text file, as input, will be presented. An annotator accepts or rejects the proposed prosody break. Yet no classification methods for boundary strenght have been implemented.
