Automatic sentence segmentation of speech is a process of identifying the end of a sentence. It is used for improving the output after speech recognition and helps in making the recognition output more readable. It is generally a two-class problem which involves the identification of a boundary characterizing the sentence part and the non-sentence part. An Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system receives a stream of speech signal and produces a un-annotated stream of words. The regions of silences in the inter word boundaries of the output of ASR are detected. The prosodic features of the input speech signal that are given to the ASR are extracted for a particular duration of time which includes pause, rhyme, slope, minimum, maximum and mean features. Once the features are extracted, SVM classifier uses all the features and discriminates each word boundary as sentence or non-sentence boundary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
