Visual Learning 2: Pronunciation App Using Ultrasound, Video, and MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate Visual Learning 2, an English pronunciation app for second-language (L2) learners and phonetics students. This iOS app links together audio, front and side video, MRI and ultrasound movies of a native speaker reading a phonetically balanced text. Users can watch and shadow front and side video overlaid with an ultrasound tongue movie. They are able to play the video at three speeds and start the video from any word by tapping on it, with a choice of display in either English or IPA. Users can record their own audio/video and play it back in sync with the model for comparison.

A Machine Learning Approach to No-Reference Objective Video Quality Assessment for High Definition Resources
The video quality assessment must be adapted to the human visual system, which is why researchers have performed subjective viewing experiments in order to obtain the conditions of encoding of video systems to provide the best quality to the user. The objective of this study is to assess the video quality using image features extraction without using reference video. RMSE values and processing ...
متن کاملOn improving the pronunciation of French /r/ in Chinese learners by using real-time ultrasound visualization
Chinese natives are known to perform poorly in /r/ pronunciations when learning French. They tend to produce their native /x/ sound. In this study, we compare two learning methods of French /r/: the traditional method using colloquial explanations of the pronunciation and a newly developed method using ultrasound images to demonstrate tongue movements in real-time. Two distinct groups including...

Recognition of visual events as a video analysis task has become popular in machine learning community. While the traditional approaches for detection of video events have been used for a long time, the recently evolved deep learning based methods have revolutionized this area. They have enabled event recognition systems to achieve detection rates which were not reachable by traditional approac...
متن کاملA real-time articulatory visual feedback approach with target presentation for second language pronunciation learning.
Articulatory information can support learning or remediating pronunciation of a second language (L2). This paper describes an electromagnetic articulometer-based visual-feedback approach using an articulatory target presented in real-time to facilitate L2 pronunciation learning. This approach trains learners to adjust articulatory positions to match targets for a L2 vowel estimated from product...
