| Abstract(in English) | Recent speech recognition research has been mainly focused on transcription or understanding of speech. A single sentence, however, can carry connotations or hidden meanings together with or besides its literal meaning in many cases. Speech recognition systems will be required to handle these cases in the future. In this paper, acoustic features of ironical utterance are first discussed and then a neural network approach for discriminating ironical utterances from literal ones is proposed with more than 70% discrimination score for speech data uttered by nine actors. Though the proposed approach is sentence dependent, the network seems to be able to detect possibility of hidden meanings in a given utterance leaving final decision for logical inference. |
