IPSyn-C scoring partially unintelligible utterances

[Tracy Preza]

Hello,

We have been using CLAN to automatically score IPSyns, but had one question. We noticed that partially unintelligible utterances are being scored, but we would like to exclude those from being analyzed. Is there an automatic way make the IPSyn-C ignore utterances that have unintelligible (XXX) material? 

Thank you for your help!

Tracy,

To exclude utterances that have xxx from analysis you need to exclude xxx utterances from data first. IPSYN  itself does not have that feature. Following commands will exclude xxx utterances:

Exclude xxx utterances:

kwal +d +f +t% +t@ -sxxx filenames.cha

Shorthand stands for "ipsyn +leng +t*CHI"

ipsyneng *.kwal.cex

Full IPSYN command:

ipsyn +leng +t*chi *.kwal.cex

or for classic version of IPSyn

ipsyn +leng +o +t*chi *.kwal.cex

Leonid.

Tracy,

The original IPSyn paper says that unintelligible utterances are excluded, but it doesn’t mention or discuss partially unintelligible utterances. So, I would say that either including or excluding them is a bit of a judgment call. If your transcript has enough utterances, then excluding might make sense. As the manual states, it is easy to exclude an utterance by adding the [+ ipe] postcode.
