New pipeline automates speech unit annotation for dialogue analysis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an automated pipeline designed to standardize the annotation of speech units in spontaneous dialogue. This system aims to improve the identification and temporal boundary marking of conversational turns and backchannels, which are crucial for analyzing conversational dynamics. The pipeline combines several techniques including voice activity detection, speech recognition, and context-based post-processing, and has been evaluated on Danish conversations, showing promising reliability for a first-pass annotation in semi-automated workflows.

    An automated pipeline for standardised speech-unit annotation in spontaneous dialogue

    arXiv:2610.03078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantifying conversational dynamics requires reliable identification of interactional units and their temporal boundaries, but speech activity alone does not distinguish conversational turns from listener feedback or within-turn pau…
