....phrase. planning problems: Previous work has shown that when words are followed or preceded by disfluencies indicating planning problems (pauses, filled pauses uh and um, or repetitions) their pronunciations are less reduced (Fox Tree Clark, 1997; Jurafsky et al. 1998; Bell et al. 1999; Shriberg, 1999). Partly for this reason and partly because the interpretation of the predictability variables in such contexts was unclear, these items, about 18 percent of the remaining data, were excluded. We then controlled other variables known or suspected to affect reduction by entering them first in the ....

.... we excluded tokens of function words based on the following three factors: Planning problems: We removed words which are immediately followed by disfluencies indicative of planning problems (pauses, filled pauses uh and um, or repetitions) since they tend to have less reduced pronunciations [8, 3, 4, 9]. We also removed words that were preceded by filled pauses. Phrase boundaries: Words are known to be lengthened at intonational phrase boundaries. As an attempt to control for this fact, we removed words which are initial or final in our pseudo utterances, since pseudoutterances of our datasets ....

.... problems: We coded a variable for function words which are immediately followed by disfluencies indicative of planning problems (pauses, filled pauses uh and um, or repetitions) since their pronunciations tend to be less reduced (Fox Tree Clark, 1997; Jurafsky et al. 1998; Bell et al. 1999; Shriberg, 1999). This variable also marked words that were preceded by filled pauses since preceding pauses might affect durational patterns. Reduction of following vowel: The prosodic pattern of the utterance plays a crucial role in reduction. Since our current dataset does not mark stress or accent, the only ....

....properties of grunts may give better performance. This section lists some issues. For acoustic models P1P6 and P8 are relevant. These are also relevant for classifiers which discriminate conversational grunts from words, and indeed some of these properties have been already been exploited (Shriberg 1999; Goto et al. 1999) For prosodic processing, the relative simplicity of grunts (P11) may make them fairly easy to deal with. For language modeling, P10 suggests that discourse models may be more useful than models relying on local context. P6 and P7 may make it possible to model grunts with ....

....speech. Hindle [1] suggested that an acoustic edit signal serves as a cue that fluent speech has been interrupted. Although no evidence for a single such cue has been found, several corpus studies have found that combinations of cues can be used to identify disfluencies with reasonable success [2, 3, 4, 5]. The editing phase consists of a spoken cue phrase like filled pauses (such as uh) discourse markers (such as you know, I mean) or explicit editing terms (such as oops) Prosody Word LM POS LM Speech Human transcription IP hypotheses Repetition pattern LM Knowledge rules Fi n a lo ....
