Abstract

This session began with a one-hour invited tutorial on prosody given by Dr. Janet Pierrehumbert of AT&T Bell Laboratories, which was followed by several short reports on database collection and performance evaluation activities dealing with various aspects of the spoken speech system development effort. Issues and discussions on methods of formal evaluation were particularly relevant for natural language processing, where formal evaluation is in many respects an elusive goal.
