| Abstract | Previously we have reported on the extraction of prosodic cues (such as stress, pitch, duration) from continuous speech [1] and have reported on possible uses of some prosodic information (e.g., temporal cues [2]) in large vocabulary word recognition systems. In this paper we extend these previous findings to a speaker-independent continuous speech recognition system. Speaker-independent knowledge sources (KS) were implemented that attempt to hypothesize words based on only prosodic cues found in the signal. The prosodic cues exploited were temporal cues (syllable durations, ratios of unvoiced segment durations to syllable durations, voiced segment durations), intensity profiles and likelihoods of stressedness. Each KS extracts the appropriate prosodic cue and searches its knowledge base for words whose prosodic patterns satisfy the constraints found in the signal. Usign a multispeaker continuous speechdatabase for evaluation, each prosodic KS is shown to hypothesize the correct word substantially better than chance. All prosodic KSs were then combined and compared with a speaker-independent acoustic-phonetic word hypothesizer. After applying the prosodic KSs, the correct word ranked on average 25th (out of 252 words). The acoustic-phonetic KS alone yielded an average rank of 40 (out of 252) without the addition of prosodic information. After prosodic and phonetic KSs were combined the average rank was reduced to 15 out of 252. The results indicate that prosodic information indeed adds complementary information that substantially improves word hypothesization in speaker-independent continuous speech recognition systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
