A CART_Based Hierarchical Stochastic Model for Prosodic Phrasing in Chinese 1

A CART-Based stochastic model for prediction of prosodic phrase breaks from input text of Chinese is provided in this work. All the features used in this model are almost obtained automatically. A novel and efficient algorithm—LLW algorithm is proposed here. Experiments demonstrate a high success rate of prosodic phrase breaks prediction from input sentences with little syntactic information(81% success rate, 6.1% false rate).
