  1. Introduction to Speech Corpora@Stanford Neal Snider, snider@stanford.edu For LIN110, April 12th, 2005 (adapted from slides by Florian Jaeger)

  2. Before we get to the real stuff… • This presentation will be available online at: • http://www.stanford.edu/dept/linguistics/corpora/material/ling110/ • Local support • Where are our corpora? • Setting up your account on AFS

  3. Local support • Where can you get help with your project? • Your TA • The Corpora@Stanford website (http://www.stanford.edu/dept/linguistics/corpora/) • The corpora@csli.stanford.edu email list (you have to subscribe first) • The corpus TA (snider@stanford.edu)

  4. Where are our corpora? (1) • AFS: • AFS is Stanford’s file sharing system • The linguistic corpora are stored at: /afs/ir/data/linguistic-data/ • You need to register for AFS access • You need to set up your account

  5. Where are our corpora? (2) • Corpus Computer • The computer is the one closest to the printer in the linguistics department’s computer cluster (MJH, 1st floor) • The corpora are stored on partition D:\ • Mapping the drive via a network:

  6. The real part • Example project • Overview of available corpora • Where to find them • How does the annotation look like? • How to search speech corpora

  7. Example projects (1) • Differences in the realization of phonemes depending on their context • ‘Context’ can be segmental [1] • How does the realization of syllabic /m/ differ depending on the preceding onset? • Word final vowel aspiration • ‘Context’ can be supra-segmental: [3] • How does the realization of syllabic /m/ differ at the beginning/end of conversations/utterances/sentences? • Reduction of complex clusters

  8. Example projects (2) • ‘Context’ could also include the register, style (formal vs. informal), genre (reading a fairy tale vs. reading an article), different dialects, etc. [2] • Pitch contours related to specific meanings [1] • Steady-state pitch contours

  9. Available corpora • Handout in http://www.stanford.edu/dept/linguistics/corpora/material/X_speech_corpora/X_phonetic corpora.doc • See also: • http://www.stanford.edu/dept/linguistics/corpora/

  10. Switchboard – spontaneous AE speech • Transcripts uploaded to AFS: • /afs/ir/data/linguistic-data/Switchboard/ • Sound files available on CD • available in several formats: • All in one file • Separate files for • Syllables • Words • Orthographic transcription

  11. Example annotations (Switchboard) • Some files in Switchboard

  12. Switchboard – all in one fileAnnotation key (1) Key: • SENTENCE: word1 word2 ... (2005_A_0041) • WORD: word canonical? [lm-probs] [rates] [positions] [morebigrams] part-of-speech phone1 phone2 ... • SYL: baseform transcribed syl_structure stress length [lm-probs] [rates] [positions] • PHONE: baseform stress syl_part [lm-probs] [rates] [positions] tran1 tran2 ...

  13. Switchboard – all in one fileAnnotation key (2) • [lm-probs]= trigram unigram trigram-unigram • [rates]= seg_tr_syl seg_tr_phn lex_syl lex_phn enrate vrate nvrate mrate mfrate enmmfrate mmfrate • [positions] = word_num_in_utterance word_num_in_turn • [morebigrams] = bigram reverse-bigram reverse-trigram center-trigram • part-of-speech = syntactic part of speech (currently only done for the word "to") • wordX= word number X in acoustically segmented `sentence' • canonical?= can if canonical (pronlex) pronunciation, alt otherwise • trigram= p(word | previous two words) • unigram= p(word) • trigram-unigram = difference between two probabilities • seg_tr_syl= transcribed syllable rate between closest two pauses • seg_tr_phn= transcribed phone rate between closest two pauses • lex_syl= lexical syllabic rate (i.e. as determined from wd transcription) • lex_phn= lexical phone rate (i.e. as determined from wd transcription)

  14. Switchboard – all in one fileAnnotation key (3) • enrate= old enrate measure • vrate= voicing rate • nvrate= another voicing rate • mrate= sub-part of mrate measure • mfrate= sub-part of mrate measure • enmmfrate= *this is what we call mrate* average of enrate, mrate, mfrate • mmffrate= average of mrate, mfrate • baseform= pronunciation as written in dictionary • transcribed= transcribed syllable • syl_structure= onset/nucleus/coda markings from dictionary • stress= syllable stress marking from dictionary P=primary S=secondary N=none • length= syllable length • tranX= transcribed phone X corresponding to baseform phone

  22. Example annotations (TIMIT) • TIMIT • Word label (.wrd): • 7470 11362 she • 11362 16000 had • 15420 17503 your • 17503 23360 dark • 23360 28360 suit • 28360 30960 in • 30960 36971 greasy • Phonetic label (.phn): • (Note: beginning and ending silence regions are marked with h#) • 0 7470 h# • 7470 9840 sh • 9840 11362 iy • 11362 12908 hv • 12908 14760 ae • 14760 15420 dcl • 15420 16000 jh • 16000 17503 axr

  23. How to search transcribed corpora? • Either load the files into your favorite text editor • Or use a command from the ‘grep’ family (run on a UNIX shell) • This allows you to search many files as once for patterns that are described by regular expressions • For help, see our tutorial page at: • http://www.stanford.edu/dept/linguistics/corpora/cas-tut-grep.html
