A Phoneme-Based Student Model for Adaptive Spelling Training
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel phoneme-based student model for spelling training. Our model is data driven, adapts to the user and provides information for, e.g., optimal word selection. We describe spelling errors using a set of features accounting for phonemic, capitalization, typo, and other error categories. We compute the influence of individual features on the error expectation values based on previous input data using Poisson regression. This enables us to predict error expectation values and to classify errors probabilistically. While our main focus is on spelling training for dyslexic children, our model is generic and can be utilized within any intelligent language learning environment.

Poisson-Based Inference for Perturbation Models in Adaptive Spelling Training
We present an inference algorithm for perturbation models based on Poisson regression. The algorithm is designed to handle unclassified input with multiple errors described by independent mal-rules. This knowledge representation provides an intelligent tutoring system with local and global information about a student, such as error classification (local) and prediction of further performance (g...
متن کاملComputer-based learning of spelling skills in children with and without dyslexia.
Our spelling training software recodes words into multisensory representations comprising visual and auditory codes. These codes represent information about letters and syllables of a word. An enhanced version, developed for this study, contains an additional phonological code and an improved word selection controller relying on a phoneme-based student model. We investigated the spelling behavi...
متن کاملImproving Phoneme Sequence Recognition using Phoneme Duration Information in DNN-HSMM
Improving phoneme recognition has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its applications in various fields of speech processing. Recent research achievements show that using deep neural network (DNN) in speech recognition systems significantly improves the performance of these systems. There are two phases in DNN-based phoneme recognition systems including training and testing. Mos...
متن کاملHMM-based Pronunciation Dictionary Generation
In this paper, we discuss automatically generating a phonetic pronunciation from an orthographic spelling of words. The letter-sequence to phoneme-sequence mapping is useful in a variety of contexts, including text-to-speech applications, automatic spelling correction, and generating a pronunciation lexicon for a new training dataset which contains out-of-vocabulary words. A system based on hid...
متن کاملComputer speech-based remediation for reading disabilities: the size of spelling-to-sound unit in a transparent orthography.
This study was designed to assess the effects of four reading-training procedures for children with reading disabilities (RD) in a transparent orthography, with the aim of examining the effects of different spelling-to-sound units in computer speech-based reading. We selected a sample of 83 Spanish children aged between 7 years 1 month and 10 years 6 months (M = 105.2, SD = 7.8) whose pseudowor...
