We analyse optimal rejection strategies for classifiers with input space partitioning, eg
prototype-based classifiers, support vector machines or decision trees using certainty …

Prosodic cues such as the word prominence play a fundamental role in human
communication, eg, to express important information. Since different speakers use a wide …

Modifying the articulatory parameters to raise the prominence of a segment of an utterance
(hyperarticulating) is usually accompanied by a reduction of these parameters …

In this paper we investigate the audio-visual processing of linguistic prosody, more precisely
the detection of word prominence, and examine how the additional visual information can be …

We investigate how word prominence can be detected from the acoustic signal and
movements of the speaker's head and mouth. Our research is based on a corpus with 12 …

In this paper we present results for the audio-visual discrimination of prominent from non-
prominent words on a dataset with 16 speakers and more than 5000 utterances. We …

In this paper we propose a new speaker adaptation method to improve the detection of
prominent words in speech. Prosodic cues are difficult to extract, due to the different features …

Prosodic cues are an important part of human communication. One of these cues is the word
prominence which is used to eg highlight important information. Since individual speakers …

Word prominence is an essential part of communication, eg to express important
information. But due to speaker variations, it is difficult to extract these cues. A common …

To automatically detect prominent syllables or words, most approaches require a
segmentation of the speech signal and a subsequent extraction of prosodic features in these …
