Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the determination of prosodic markers and a device for the implementation of the method. In order to achieve a more robust performance in the determination of prosodic markers, on the basis of linguistic categories when compared to conventional methods, a neuronal network is used.
Claims12
A method for determining prosodic markers, phrase boundaries and word accents serving as prosodic markers, having the following steps:
- prosodic markers are determined by a neural network (1) on the basis of linguistic categories,
- acquisition of the properties of each prosodic marker by neural autoassociators (7) which are trained to in each case one specific prosodic marker, and
- evaluation of the output information output by each of the autoassociators (7) in a neural classifier (8).
The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims,
- characterized
- in that the autoassociators (1) are trained for a respective predetermined phrase boundary.
A neural network for determining prosodic markers, phrase boundaries and word accents serving as prosodic markers, having an input (2), an intermediate layer (3) and an output (4), the input being designed for acquiring linguistic categories of words of a text to be analyzed,
- characterized
- in that properties of each prosodic marker can be acquired by neural autoassociators (7) which are trained to in each case one specific prosodic marker, and
- in that the output information output by each of the autoassociators (7) can be evaluated in a neural classifier (8).
