Unsupervised Learning of Tone and Pitch Accent
Recognition of tone and intonation is essential for speech recognition and language understanding. However, most approaches to this recognition task have relied upon extensive collections of manually tagged data obtained at substantial time and financial cost. In this paper, we explore unsupervised clustering approaches to recognize pitch accent in English and tones in Mandarin Chinese. In unsu...
متن کاملImplicit learning as an ability.
The ability to automatically and implicitly detect complex and noisy regularities in the environment is a fundamental aspect of human cognition. Despite considerable interest in implicit processes, few researchers have conceptualized implicit learning as an ability with meaningful individual differences. Instead, various researchers (e.g., Reber, 1993; Stanovich, 2009) have suggested that indiv...
متن کاملUnsupervised and Semi-supervised Learning of Tone and Pitch Accent
Recognition of tone and intonation is essential for speech recognition and language understanding. However, most approaches to this recognition task have relied upon extensive collections of manually tagged data obtained at substantial time and financial cost. In this paper, we explore two approaches to tone learning with substantially reductions in training data. We employ both unsupervised cl...
متن کاملDifferential Effects of Stimulus Variability and Learners’ Pre-existing Pitch Perception Ability in Lexical Tone Learning by Native English Speakers
We examined the role of stimulus variability in learning non-native phonetic contrasts (suprasegmentals) for word identification by adults, considering whether all learners benefit from high-variability training. Forty-seven English-speakers were trained to use Mandarin lexical tones to identify 18 English pseudowords with stimuli produced by either four talkers (multitalker training) or only o...
متن کاملThe effects of absolute pitch ability and musical training on lexical tone perception
The relationship between processing of speech and music was explored here via the linguistic vehicle of lexical tone. People with amusia have been found to be impaired on linguistic tasks; we examined whether absolute pitch (AP) possessors have an advantage on linguistic tasks. Participants were 3 groups of monolingual Australian-English speakers: non-AP musicians (musically-trained individuals...
