Joint, Incremental Disfluency Detection and Utterance Segmentation from Speech

Julian Hough, David Schlangen


Abstract
We present the joint task of incremental disfluency detection and utterance segmentation and a simple deep learning system which performs it on transcripts and ASR results. We show how the constraints of the two tasks interact. Our joint-task system outperforms the equivalent individual task systems, provides competitive results and is suitable for future use in conversation agents in the psychiatric domain.
