Abstract

In transcription for spoken language research, labeling is a work linking text-represented utterance to recorded speech. Most existing labeling tools have been working manually. Semi-automatic labeling we are proposing consists of automation module and manual adjustment module. Automation module extracts voice boundaries utilizing G.Saha's algorithm, and predicts utterance boundaries using the number and length of utterance which established utterance text. For maintaining existing manual tool's accuracy, we provide manual adjustment user interface revising the auto-labeling utterance boundaries. The implemented tool of our semi-automatic algorithm speed up to 27% than existing manual labeling tools.

구어 연구를 위한 전사 과정에서 문자로 표현된 발화를 녹음 음성에 연결해주는 작업을 레이블링이라고 한다. 기존 레이블링 도구들은 대부분 수동으로 작업이 이루어진다. 제안하는 반자동 레이블링은 자동화 모듈과 수동 조정 모듈로 구성된다. 자동화 모듈은 G.Saha 알고리즘을 활용하여 음성구간을 추출하고, 기구축된 발화텍스트의 발화 수와 발화의 길이 정보를 이용하여 발화구간을 예측한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 수동 도구의 정확성을 유지하기 위하여 자동 레이블링된 발화구간을 보정하기 위한 수동 조정 사용자 인터페이스를 제공한다. 제안하는 반자동 레이블링 알고리즘으로 구현한 도구는 기존 수동 레이블링 도구와 비교하여 작업 속도가 평균 27% 향상되었다.
