A Guide to Computational Linguistics
True or False
ASR system would use the language model to predict the most unlikely transcription of a given audio and input the opposite so it is the most likely
False: ASR system would use the language model to predict the most likely transcription of a given audio
What areas of Linguistics does that Structure of Speech focus on?
Phonetics and Phonology
What are the elementary units of speech
Phone, phoneme, syllable, word, utterance.
What is the difference between written text and speech?
While the written text comprises categorical units (each word separated by whitespace), speech comprises non-categorical signals and is hence continuous in nature.
What is computational linguistics?
Combination of the study of linguistics and computer science to develop computational models and algorithms for processing and understanding human language.
What is Conversational AI?
Referred to developing and implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that can engage in natural language conversations with humans.
What do these acronyms stand for TTS, NLP and ASR?
a)Text to speech, natural language professor, automatic speech recognition
b)Text to speech, natural language professor, autonomic speech recognition
c)Text to speech, natural language processing, automatic speech recognition
d)None of the above
c
What is the function of The acoustic model?
Its main function is to transform the acoustic signal of spoken words into a sequence of phonetic units.
True or false:
A communication model is a set of principles and patterns used by automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to transcribe phonetic units to words
False: A pronunciation model is a set of rules and patterns used by automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to transcribe phonetic units to words.
True or False:
The Decoder is done based on the Hidden Markov Models.
False: It is done based on a graph-based search.
