Postdoc E: Exactly Thank you And so I do a an exhaustive listing of the forms Actually I will go through this in in order so if if we could maybe wait and stick keep that for a second cuz we are not ready for that
Grad D: So on the fifth page seven down
Postdoc E: Exactly ! Exactly ! Alright so a spelling check first then an exhaustive listing of the all the forms in the data with the punctuation attached and at that point I pick up things like oh you know word followed by two commas And th and then another check involves being sure that every utterance has an identifiable speaker And if not then that gets checked Then there s this issue of glossing s w so called `` spoken forms `` So there mo for the most part we are keeping it standard wo word level transcription But there s w And that that s done with the assumption that pause pronunciation variants can be handled So for things like `` and `` the fact that someone does not say the `` D `` that s not important enough to capture in the transcription because a a good pronunciation you know model would be able to handle that However things like `` cuz `` where you are lacking an entire very prominent first syllable and furthermore it s a form that s specific to spoken language those are r reasons f for those reasons I I kept that separate and used the convention of using `` CUZ `` for that form however glossing it so that it s possible with the script to plug in the full orthographic form for that one and a couple of others not many So `` want to `` is another one `` going `` `` going to `` is another one with just the assumption again that this th these are things which it s not really fair to a c consider expect that a pronunciation model to handle And Chuck you in you indicated that `` cuz `` is is one of those that s handled in a different way also did not you ? Did I OK So so it might not have been It might not have been you but someone told me that in fact `` cuz `` is treated differently in i you in this context because of that r reason that it s a little bit farther than a pronunciation variant OK so after that let s see
PhD B: So that was part of the spell check comment or was that that was after the spell check ?
Postdoc E: Well so when I get the exhau So the spell check picks up those words because they are not in the dictionary So it gets `` cuz `` and `` want to `` and that
Grad D: And then you gloss them ?
Postdoc E: mm Run it through I have a sed You know so I do sed script saying whenever you see `` going to `` you know `` convert it to going to `` you know `` gloss equals quote going to quote `` you know And with all these things being in curly brackets so they are always distinctive OK I also wrote a script which will retrieve anything in curly brackets or anything which I ve classified as an acronym and a pronounced acronym And the way I tag ac pronounced acronyms is that I have underscores between the components So if it s `` ACL `` then it s `` A `` underscore `` C `` underscore `` L ``
Grad D: And so so your list here are these ones that actually occurred in the meetings ?
Postdoc E: And the th Yes huh OK so now and a
PhD G: can I ask a question about the glossing before we go on ? So for a word like `` because `` is it that it s always predictably `` because `` ? I mean is `` CUZ `` always meaning `` because `` ?
Postdoc E: Yes but not the reverse So sometimes people will say `` because `` in the meeting and if if they actually said `` because `` then it s written as `` because `` with no w `` cuz `` does not even figure into the equation
Professor F: But but in our meetings people do not say `` hey cuz how you doing ? ``
PhD G: Beca because Right comment Right so I guess So from the point of view of
Postdoc E: That s a good point
PhD G: The the only problem is that with for the recognition we we map it to `` because `` and so if we know that `` CUZ ``
Grad D: but they have the gloss
Postdoc E: Well Don has a script
Grad D: You have the gloss form so you always replace it If that s how what you want to do
Postdoc E: huh And Don knows this and he s bee he has a glo he has a script that
Grad C: I replace the `` cuz `` with `` because `` if it s glossed
PhD G: S Right But if it s OK But then there are other glosses that we do not replace right ? Because
Postdoc E: Yes And that s why there are different tags on the glosses
PhD G: OK So then it s fine
Postdoc E: on the different on the different types of comments which we will which we will see in just a second So the pronounceable acronyms get underscores the things in curly brackets are viewed as comments There are comments of four types So this is a good time to introduce that The four types w And maybe we will expand that but the but the comments are of four types mainly right now One of them is the gloss type we just mentioned
Grad D: So a are we done with acronyms ? Cuz I had a question on what what this meant
Postdoc E: I m still doing the overview I have not actually gotten here yet OK so gloss is things like replacing the full form you with the more abbreviated one to the left then you have if it s there are a couple different types of elements that can happen that are not really properly words and wo some of them are laughs and breathes so we have that s prepended with a v a tag of `` VOC `` And the non vocal ones are like door slams and tappings and that s prepended with a no non vocalization
PhD B: So then it just an ending curly brace there or is there something else in there
Postdoc E: Oh so i e this would Let s just take one example And then the no non vocalization would be something like a door slam They always end So it s like they are paired curly brackets And then the third type right now is pause m things that fall in the category of comments about what s happening So it could be something like you know `` referring to so and so `` `` talking about such and such `` you know `` looking at so and so ``
PhD B: on the middle t So in the first case that gloss applies to the word to the left But in the middle two Th it s not applying to anything right ?
Postdoc E: and this gets substituted here Huh No they are events
Grad D: Well the `` QUAL `` can be The `` QUAL `` is applying to the left
Postdoc E: They are actually They have the status of events
PhD B: Right I just meant the middle two ones
Postdoc E: Well and actually it is true that with respect to `` laugh `` there s another one which is `` while laughing `` and that is i i An argument could be made for this tur turning that into a qualitative statement because it s talking about the thing that preceded it but at present we have not been coding the exact scope of laughing you know and so to have `` while laughing `` you know that it happened somewhere in there which could well mean that it occurred separately and following or you know including some of the utterances to the left Have not been awfully precise about that but I have here now we are about to get to the to this now I have frequencies So you will see how often these different things occur But the very front page deals with this final c pa aspect of the standardization which has to do with the spoken forms like `` mm `` and `` mm `` and `` ha `` and `` `` and all these different types And someone pointed out to me this might have been Chuck comment about about how a recognizer if it s looking for `` mm hmmm `` with three M s and it s transcribed with two M s that it might that it might increase the error rate which is which would really be a shame because I p I personally w would not be able to make a claim that those are dr dramatically different items So right now I ve standardized across all the existing data with these spoken forms | Transcription checking procedures have been formalized, including a spell check, producing an exhaustive list of forms identified in the data, attributing every utterance to the appropriate speaker ID, glossing spoken forms with their full orthographic counterparts, e.g. 'cuz' and 'because', transcribing acronyms, and encoding comments, i.e. glosses, vocalic and non-vocalic non-speech events, pragmatic cues, and the standardization of spoken forms, e.g. 'mm-hmm'. |

Professor B: I had another thought just now which is remember we were talking before about we were talking in our meeting about this stuff that some of the other stuff that Avendano did where they were getting rid of low energy pause sections ? if you if you did a high pass filtering as Hirsch did in pause late eighties to reduce some of the effects of reverberation Avendano and Hermansky were arguing that perhaps one of the reasons for that working was ma may not have even been the filtering so much but the fact that when you filter a an all positive power spectrum you get some negative values and you got to figure out what to do with them if you are going to continue treating this as a power spectrum So what what Hirsch did was set them to zero set the negative values to zero So if you imagine a a waveform that s all positive which is the time trajectory of energy and shifting it downwards and then getting rid of the negative parts that s essentially throwing away the low energy things And it s the low energy parts of the speech where the reverberation is most audible You know you have the reverberation from higher energy things showing up in So in this case you have some artificially imposed pause reverberation like thing I mean you are getting rid of some of the other effects of reverberation but because you have these non causal windows you are getting these funny things coming in at n And what if you did ? I mean there s nothing to say that the the processing for this re synthesis has to be restricted to trying to get it back to the original according to some equation I mean you also could just try to make it nicer And one of the things you could do is you could do some sort of VAD like thing and you actually could take very low energy sections and set them to some some very low or or near zero pause value I mean I m just saying if in fact it turns out that that these echoes that you are hearing are or pre echoes whichever they are are are part of what s causing the problem you actually could get rid of them Be pretty simple I mean you do it in a pretty conservative way so that if you made a mistake you were more likely to pause keep in an echo than to throw out speech | The professor thought it was possible to reduce the effects of reverberation by removing the low-energy segments. He thought a VAD-like approach would work. This would make it so that the model was more likely to keep an echo than throw out speech. |
