Segmental durations in the vicinity of prosodic phrase boundaries.
TL;DR: In this study, segmental lengthening in the vicinity of prosodic boundaries is examined and found to be restricted to the rhyme of the syllable preceding the boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI
From HMM's to segment models: a unified view of stochastic modeling for speech recognition
TL;DR: A general stochastic model is described that encompasses most of the models proposed in the literature for speech recognition, pointing out similarities in terms of correlation and parameter tying assumptions, and drawing analogies between segment models and HMMs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of prosody in syntactic disambiguation
TL;DR: In a set of experiments involving 35 pairs of phonetically similar sentences representing seven types of structural contrasts, the perceptual evidence shows that some, but not all, of the pairs can be disambiguated on the basis of prosodic differences.

TL;DR: A taxonomy of NSWs was developed on the basis of four rather distinct text types, and several general techniques including n-gram language models, decision trees and weighted finite-state transducers were investigated, demonstrating that a systematic treatment can lead to better results than have been obtained by the ad hoc treatments that have typically been used in the past.
