    This document describes a prosodic feature extraction tool called PRAAT that uses the open source PRAAT software. It extracts various prosodic features like duration, pitch, intensity, and energy. The tool runs statistical feature computation and prosodic feature extraction batches in PRAAT. It obtains pitch, stylized pitch, and prosodic feature tables as output. The document concludes the tool was used to successfully extract prosodic features from a speech file, and that combining this model with a language model could create an event detection system.

    PRAAT PROSODIC FEATURE EXTRACTION TOOL

    Instructor:Dr.Veton Kepuska Student:Dileep Narayan.Koneru

    INTRODUCTION
    There has been an increasing interest in utilizing a

    wide variety of knowledge sources in order to perform automatic tagging of speech events, such as sentence boundaries and dialogue acts. In addition to the word spoken, the prosodic content of the speech has been proved quite valuable in a variety of spoken language processing tasks such as sentence segmentation and tagging, dis_uency detection, dialog act segmentation and tagging, and speaker recognition. Here in this project I used an open source prosodic tool for extracting the prosodic analysis.This tool uses praat for its implementation.

    FEATURES
    Duration Features

    F0 Fetures
    Range Features Movement Features Slope Features Energy Features

    IMPLEMENTATION
    Statistical Feature Computation

    1. Run Praat
    2. Open stats batch.praat from Read\Read from

    file" on the menu of Praat Objects. 3. Click \Run\Run" on the menu of ScriptEditor.

    4. Enter parameters. Type ..\demo-wavinfo list.txt

    and ..\demo\work dir in the two boxes, and then check \yes" in the radio box. 5. Click \OK" to start processing with the con_gurations or \Cancel" to close the interface. Clicking the \Apply" button (if available) also starts processing but it keeps the interface on after the work is done. The \Standards" button (if available) gives the option to restore the default con_gurations.

    6. Process related information is displayed in the

    Praat Info Window.After computation is complete, the statistics _les can be found at ../demo/work dir/stats files. Prosodic Feature Extraction This is also done in the same way as statistical feature computation. But the main difference is the file main_batch is run instead of stats_batch file

    The requirements needed for the tool and its basic elements are:

    Procedures to obtain the basic elements that are directly needed for prosodic feature extraction. The grayed ovals represent operations implemented in the tool, while the grayed rectangles represent the basic elements. Note that Forced Alignment is not a part of the tool, and so it appears in white

    The use of basic elements for various feature calculations:

    After the statistic feature calculation we get

    param files from witch we can view the pitch,raw pitch,stylised pitch,intensity,energy etc From those I presented here the pitch and its informationand the prosodic features table and its information

    Pitch tier
    From this we can get the pitch information

    Pitch information

    Stylized pitch
    From this we can get the stylized pitch

    information

    Stylized pitch info

    Prosodic features table

    Prosodic feature table info

    RESULT AND COCLUSION


    Hence the prosodic features of the speech file

    demo_c.wav are extracted given its word and phone alignment. This prosodic model when combined along with a language model can form an event detection system
