A Collection of Pragmatic-Similarity Judgments over Spoken Dialog Utterances (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new study uses pragmatic similarity measures to train speech synthesizers . the average inter-judge correlation between utterance pairs was 0.45. |
| Approach: | they use a re-enactment of a recorded dialog to create pragmatic similarity . they use 9 judges to listen to 220 utterance pairs and rate them on a continuous scale . |
| Outcome: | The results show that human judges listened to 220 utterance pairs and rated them on a continuous scale. |
