A HMM-based recognition system for perceptive relevant pitch movements of spontaneous German speech

Christel Brindöpke, Gernot A. Fink, Franz Kummert, Gerhard Sagerer

This paper presents an HMM-based recognition system for perceptive relevant pitch movements of spontaneous German speech. The pitch movements are defined according to the perceptively and phonetically motivated IPO-approach to intonation. For recognition we use a hybrid approach combining polynomial classification with Hidden Markov Modelling. The recognition is based only on the speech signal, its fundamental frequency and eleven derived features. We evaluate the system on a speaker independent recognition task.
