Punctuation and Capitalization Restoration using Bi-LSTM Network
Abstract: In this paper we present Bi-Directional Long short-term memory (BLSTM) network with linear Conditional Random Field (CRF) to restore punctuation and capitalization in an unsegmented speech transcript. Our approach will restore both punctuation and capitalization using a single model. This is purely lexical based approach with pre trained glove embeddings as an input. The task was treated as a sequence tagging problem where the input is sequence of un- punctuated and un-capitalized words, and the output is a corresponding sequence of punctuated and capitalized words. We demonstrated the accuracy of proposed model are competitive with the state-of-the-art models and can do both the tasks in a single model.
