Hindi is the largest of the Indian languages, and is the first language for more than 200 million people who use it not only for spoken mobile communication but also for sending text messages to each other. The main script for Hindi is Devanagari, but it is not well supported by the current generation of mobile devices. The Devanagari alphabet is twice as large as for English which makes it difficult to fit onto the small keypad of a mobile device. The aim of this project is to collect text and speech resources which can be used for training spoken language systems that aide text messaging on mobile devices - i.e. train a speech recogniser for the mobile personal communication domain so that text can be input through dictation rather than by typing. In total we collected a text corpus of 2 million words of natural messages in 12 different domains, and a spoken corpus of 100 speakers who each spoke 630 phonetically rich sentences - about 4 hours of speech. The speech utterances were recorded in 16 kHz through 3 recording channels: a mobile phone, a headset and a desktop mounted microphone. The data sets were properly annotated and available for development of speech recognition / synthesis systems in mobile domain.","PeriodicalId":269402,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Speech Database and Assessments (Oriental COCOSDA)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132701330","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}

The voice corpora comprises of three emotions, namely anger, sadness and happiness being expressed by two male and two female actors. The voice corpora were evaluated in two separate listening tests involving a number of Malay native evaluators balanced for gender, age and profession. In the first listening test, evaluators were given twenty five choices of emotions to choose from. For the second test, the number of emotion choices is only five. Each test was conducted separately with different group of evaluators. The results of the two tests are grossly different with the emotion identification rate of the first test lower than the second test.","PeriodicalId":269402,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Speech Database and Assessments (Oriental COCOSDA)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127928331","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}

The VOT, pitch, and formants were selected as the parameters to examine the manner and place features of the plosives produced by the SD learners. Results demonstrate that the SD learners pronounce the voiced stops as voiceless ones. This result is due to the negative transfer from SD dialect which was proposed to contain no voiced stops. Further, the SD speakers also exit problem in the aspiration and tongue position during the articulation of [d, g, t′, k′], and this result lies in the positive influence from SD dialect.","PeriodicalId":269402,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Speech Database and Assessments (Oriental COCOSDA)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128228372","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}

Usually, a spectral change in the speech signal implies the existence of a phone boundary. In this paper, the Delta Spectral Function (DSF) is defined for each frame to represent the variation of band energy for a specific band. Then a number of bands that give highest DSF values in a frame are chosen to define a measure of spectral change. The chosen bands are not fixed. They are dynamically chosen frame by frame. The peaks of the spectral change curve can be recognized as possible boundaries. A fine tune procedure is then applied to choose the peaks that will be the detected boundaries. Our proposed method results in an F-value of 75.3% under the condition of near zero over segmentation. In this situation the recall rate is 75.3%. This experimental result is better than many previous reports. Besides, the computation is simple and the proposed method is easy to be implemented.","PeriodicalId":269402,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Speech Database and Assessments (Oriental COCOSDA)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129934468","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}

The study focuses on prosodic research of Chinese EFL Learners' English vs. native English through comparative evaluation of phonological pattern and accent related prosodic parameters. The research results show that the average length of intermediate phrases and intonational phrase is smaller in Chinese EFL learners' English than that in native English; the better the Chinese learner's English is, the closer the partition of intermediate/intonational phrases and the accent pattern are in his/her speech to those of native speakers; Chinese speakers tend to use pitch range amplification mechanism to realize accentuation rather than durational lengthening due to the negative language transfer from their native language, Chinese.","PeriodicalId":269402,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Speech Database and Assessments (Oriental COCOSDA)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133303600","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}

The morpheme-based approach is often adopted because of its high coverage and linguistic properties. But morpheme units are short, often consisting of one or two phonemes, thus they are more likely to be confused in ASR than word units. Generally, word units provide better linguistic constraint, but increases the vocabulary size explosively, causing OOV (out-of-vocabulary) and data sparseness problems in language modeling. In this research, we investigate approaches of selecting word entries by concatenating morpheme sequences, which would reduce word error rate (WER). Specifically, we compare the ASR results of the word-based model and those of the morpheme-based model, and extract typical patterns which would reduce the WER. This method has been successfully applied to an Uyghur LVCSR system, resulting in a significant reduction of WER without a drastic increase of the vocabulary size.","PeriodicalId":269402,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Speech Database and Assessments (Oriental COCOSDA)","volume":"1552 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133818206","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}
