This repository stores Python scripts created for BASE slient pause project.
In the Script folder, BasePauseExtractor_V3.py file is the general search engine to scrape matedata and all kind of pauses from BASE, whereas pause_type_automation.py is the classifer for all types of slient pauses, except between-utterance pauses, which can be spearately identified by the previous script. Finally, base_desc_data.py is the causal script that can count different types of pauses file by file and calculate the descriptive statistics needed out of the counting.
The excel files in this page resulted from running the above three scripts. Instructors_Metadata.xlsx was gotten from BasePauseExtractor_V3.py and was later used for the number of tokens instructor produced when running base_desc_data.py. SLN_PAUSE.xlsx contains the annotated silent pause information, extracted by using both pause_type_automation.py and BasePauseExtractor_V3.py. pause_fre_data.xlsx and pause_fre_sum_data.xlsx were created after base_desc_data.py was run, which contains the descriptive statistics needed to populate the tables of the draft of the manuscript.
