چکیده
This paper describes the tone-learning features of the MyETMyCT software, which is a computer-assisted language learning platform based on advanced speech technologies. We describe the theories involved, the advantages it offered, and the challenges we faced when developing such a computer-assisted language learning system.

Temporal and Tonal Aspects of Chinese Syllables: a Corpus-based Comparative Study of Mandarin and Cantonese
Previous studies on temporal and tonal aspects of languages are usually based on limited data from a small number of subjects. It is difficult to know whether these findings can really represent the general temporal and tonal aspects of continuous speech, or just the speech of the specific subjects involved. Because of this difficulty it may not be appropriate to directly apply these findings t...
متن کاملUnsupervised 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 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 کاملThermal conductivity of Water-based nanofluids: Prediction and comparison of models using machine learning
Statistical methods, and especially machine learning, have been increasingly used in nanofluid modeling. This paper presents some of the interesting and applicable methods for thermal conductivity prediction and compares them with each other according to results and errors that are defined. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids increases with the volume fraction and temperature. Machine learni...
متن کاملStudy on tone classification of Chinese continuous speech in speech recognition system
In this paper, we first introduce the use of Gaussian mixture models (GMM) for Chinese tone classification in continuous speech. Then, we explain how to integrate it with the HMM-based speech recognition system. Finally, we provide the tone classification accuracy of this probabilistic method which is tested with Chinese continuous speech database of national “863” project.
