Prosodic boundaries in spontaneous Russian: perceptual annotation and automatic classification
Irina Nesterenko · 2006
Perceptual experiments with French and Russian speaking subjects were used to locate intonation phrase boundaries under different experimental conditions.Once inter-listener agreement had been evaluated, we built an automatic predictor based on human boundary/no-boundary judgments and then evaluated how well the predictor behaves.This predictor operates on acoustic features and we looked for an optimal combination of features to mimic perceptual experiment results.
