Chunk Different Kind of Spoken Discourse: Challenges for Machine Learning
This paper describes the development of a chunker for spoken data by supervised machine learning using the CRFs, based on a small reference corpus composed of two kinds of discourse: prepared monologue vs. spontaneous talk in interaction. The methodology considers the specific character of the spoken data. The machine learning uses the results of several available taggers, without correcting the results manually. Experiments show that the discourse type (monologue vs. free talk), the speech nature (spontaneous vs. prepared) and the corpus size can influence the results of the machine learning process and must be considered while interpreting the results.

Polysemy in Spoken Conversations and Written Texts
Our discourses are full of potential lexical ambiguities, due in part to the pervasive use of words having multiple senses. Sometimes, one word may even be used in more than one sense throughout a text. But, to what exte…
Fillers in Spoken Language Understanding: Computational and Psycholinguistic Perspectives
Disfluencies (i.e. interruptions in the regular flow of speech), are ubiquitous to spoken discourse. Fillers ("uh", "um") are disfluencies that occur the most frequently compared to other kinds of disfluencies. Yet, to t…

In discourse relation annotation, there is currently a variety of different frameworks being used, and most of them have been developed and employed mostly on written data. This raises a number of questions regarding int…
RelationSTITCH: Simultaneous Thinking and Talking with Chunked Reasoning for Spoken Language Models
Spoken Language Models (SLMs) are designed to take speech inputs and produce spoken responses. However, current SLMs lack the ability to perform an internal, unspoken thinking process before responding. In contrast, huma…
Towards Modelling Coherence in Spoken Discourse
While there has been significant progress towards modelling coherence in written discourse, the work in modelling spoken discourse coherence has been quite limited. Unlike the coherence in text, coherence in spoken disco…
