Corrective Focus Detection in Italian Speech Using Neural Networks
Abstract:The corrective focus is a particular kind of prosodic prominence where the speaker is intended to correct or to emphasize a concept. This work develops an Artificial Cognitive System (ACS) based on Recurrent Neural Networks that analyzes suitable features of the audio channel in order to automatically identify the Corrective Focus on speech signals. Two different approaches to build the ACS have been developed. The first one addresses the detection of focused syllables within a given Intonational Unit whereas … Show more
