Towards Interactive Annotation for Hesitation in Conversational Speech (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | recognizing affects in spontaneous, non acted speech is expensive in both human resources and time. |
| Approach: | They aim to automatize the labeling of hesitant speech as a marker of expressed uncertainty. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows that the number of filled pauses and vowel duration increases with the degree of hesitation, and that automatic prediction of the hesitation degree reaches encouraging RMSE results of 1.6. |
PATATRA and PATAFreq: two French databases for the documentation of within-speaker variability in speech (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Variability in speech is pervasive but structured and ruled-governed. |
| Approach: | They propose two databases which contain recordings of 9 to 11 speakers . they compare the delay between repetitions of speech tasks with different speakers based on their own data . |
| Outcome: | The proposed databases compare speakers' performance on a large set of speech tasks with different delays. |
