Lexical tone is one of the most challenging pronunciation problems in tonal language
acquisition. Accurate lexical tone production is especially challenging for people whose …

For the same tone pattern, different articulatory characteristics may make the pitch contour
change. This paper applies articulatory features, which represent the articulatory …

An innovative tone modeling framework based on deep neural networks in tone recognition
was proposed in this paper. In the framework, both the prosodic features and the articulatory …

Gabor features have been proposed for extracting spectro-temporal modulation information
from speech signals, and have been shown to yield large improvements in recognition …

Tone error is commonly observed in tonal language acquisition. Correct tone production is
especially challenging for native speakers of non-tonal languages. In this paper, we exploit …

Spelling recognition is a workaround to recognize unfamiliar words, such as proper names
or unregistered words in a dictionary, which typically cause ambiguous pronunciations. In …

The incorporation of prosodic information in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition
has attracted much attention in recent years, especially for a tonal language such as …

Tone plays an important role in distinguishing ambiguous words in Chinese Mandarin
speech recognition. In this paper, we make full use of pitch information. On the one hand, we …

In Thai, tonal information is a crucial component for identifying the lexical meaning of a word.
Consequently, Thai tone classification can obviously improve performance of Thai speech …

To explore the potential of prosody for Mandarin speech recognition, this paper addresses
the tone modeling problem and its integration issue. This study adopts the maximum entropy …
