Cantonese has more vowel phonemes but BM has more allophones. Cantonese should show less V-to-V coarticulation than BM if phonemic contrast determines degree of V-to-V coarticulation. The vowels used were /iau/ in /pVpVpV/ structures. Phonemic vowel space density did not influence V-to-V coarticulation differentially in Cantonese and BM. Effects of stress and direction were not consistent. Generally, there was more carryover coarticulation, and more coarticulation on unstressed vowels, but exceptions were common. No one factor appears to determine patterns of V-to-V coarticulation in different languages. Other potential phonological influences are discussed.","PeriodicalId":212562,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127047244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, if the keywords are over-weighted, there will be a high number of false alarms, which will slow down the system and might introduce rejection errors; on the other hand, if the keywords are insufficiently weighted, the detection rate is not guaranteed. It is difficult to make a compromise with regard to keyword weighting. A two-step KWS method based on context-dependent a posteriori probability (CDAPP) is proposed in this paper as a way to solve this problem. The first step adopts a continuous speech recognition method, to generate a sequence of acoustic symbols for the second step, which performs a fuzzy keyword search. Preliminary experiments show that the proposed strategy is a promising one that needs additional investigation.","PeriodicalId":212562,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122555822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we are concerned with the automatic identification of languages that may be highly similar in nature, such as the various dialects of Chinese. Our approach differs from many recent successful systems by exploiting a fusion of feature scores readily available from a large vocabulary speech recognition system. We show that such features are able to distinguish among the similar sounding dialects of Chinese, and experiments on a nine language corpus show promising performance on a three way identification task.","PeriodicalId":212562,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing","volume":"17 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129287447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the information obtained from a corpus, our lexical-based approach is proposed to paraphrase Chinese spoken language. Our purpose is to transform various expressions into simplified expressions with the same meanings. Chinese verbs are the main constituents in sentences, and with their flexibility they play an important role in expressing structures, especially for transitive verbs. Furthermore, negative verb expressions also appear frequently to express enquiries in question utterances. Therefore, we design four types of paraphrasing templates based on lexical information and the characteristics of the corpus: (1) synonym replacement; (2) Chinese transitive verbs; (3) verbs with two objects; (4) the transformation of negative expressions. Our experiment found that the lexical-based approach is effective for Chinese paraphrasing.","PeriodicalId":212562,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114794047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, the non-native speech data is transcribed, based on the baseline HMM models. In more detail, we analyze the error recognition rates of all initials and all finals, and their typical substitute error.

This paper describes approaches to automatic objective assessment of pronunciation quality. The approaches described here can be classified into two categories, text-dependent and text-independent, according to whether a teacher's voice is present. In the text-independent one, algorithms based on energy and pitch contour are introduced. Also, the average rate of variation in energy and pitch frequency, mean subtracted energy and pitch frequency are used as main features. Compared to the previously reported approach using average phone segment posterior probabilities, the new approach achieves favorable performance on the same test set.","PeriodicalId":212562,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131223225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we study an acoustic and articulatory knowledge integrated method to solve this discontinuity problem. First, representative trisyllable contexts are selected and their signals are recorded. The signal of the middle syllable of each trisyllable pronunciation is then extracted to make a synthesis unit. To select a synthesis unit among multiple candidates, a distance function is defined to measure the spectral similarity between two synthesis units to be concatenated. In addition, several linking-restriction rules are derived, according to articulatory knowledge, to prevent some synthesis units being linked into a sequence. Then, a globally best synthesis-unit sequence is searched by using a dynamic programming based algorithm. When this method is applied, the formant traces at syllable boundaries become smoother. Also, subjective evaluation shows that the fluency level of synthetic Mandarin speech can indeed be improved a lot.","PeriodicalId":212562,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115423341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We carried out a lot of experiments on a Mandarin isolated word recognition task with a tone-confusable vocabulary.

The results showed that feature masking was a promising approach for complexity reduction in embedded tonal language recognition systems. The results also verified the effectiveness of higher order cepstral coefficients for tonal language recognition because most of them were preserved during the feature masking experiments.","PeriodicalId":212562,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116954741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the paper makes a comparison among three typical evaluation methods: listening test; standard deviation of intonation; standard deviation of intonation and tangential intonation.
