English read by Japanese phonetic corpus: an interim report [PDF]

, 2012
The primary purpose of this paper is to explain the procedure of developing the English Read by Japanese Phonetic Corpus. A series of preliminary studies (Makino 2007, 2008, 2009) made it clear that a phonetically-transcribed computerized corpus of ...

Phonetic prototypes [PDF]

Perception & Psychophysics, 1982
Speech perception may be viewed as a phonetic categorization task in which the listener assigns incoming sounds to various phonetic categories. The present experiment tests two classes of models of phonetic categorization: (1) models in which the listener has a threshold or boundary between alternative categories vs.

Piezoresistive Effect: A New Concept for Hearing Aids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An MXene/PVA sound sensor utilizing piezoresistive effects has been proposed with a detection limit of 60 dB and a frequency response of 20–4000 Hz, which is comparable to the performance of commercial hearing aids. By combining the sensor with machine learning, the accuracy rate of voiceprint recognition of wildlife conservation can reach up to 99 ...

Effects of two teaching methods of connected speech in a Polish EFL classroom [PDF]

, 2016
The results demonstrate that in general, NF proved more effective than NNF. With regard to individual processes of connected speech, NF was more effective in production, whereas no such effect was found for ...

Multisensory Integration of Naturalistic Speech and Gestures in Autistic Adults

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seeing the speaker often facilitates auditory speech comprehension through audio‐visual integration. This audio‐visual facilitation is stronger under challenging listening conditions, such as in real‐life social environments. Autism has been associated with atypicalities in integrating audio‐visual information, potentially underlying social ...

Eye Movement Evidence for Context-Sensitive Derivation of Scalar Inferences

Collabra: Psychology, 2018
A scalar expression like some can optionally have an enriched interpretation (approximately meaning “some, but not all”) depending on the context in which it appears.

English-to-Chinese Transliteration with Phonetic Back-transliteration [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Transliteration is a task of translating named entities from a language to another, based on phonetic similarity. The task has embraced deep learning approaches in recent years, yet, most ignore the phonetic features of the involved languages. In this work, we incorporate phonetic information into neural networks in two ways: we synthesize extra data ...

Artificial intelligence literacy in assessment: Empowering pre‐service teachers to design effective exam questions for language learning

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education plays a crucial role in teacher training digitalisation. Although AI has enormous potential, not much is known about how pre‐service teachers perceive and utilise AI tools in professional practice. Hence, this study, guided by the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology framework,

Improving Factored Hybrid HMM Acoustic Modeling without State Tying [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this work, we show that a factored hybrid hidden Markov model (FH-HMM) which is defined without any phonetic state-tying outperforms a state-of-the-art hybrid HMM. The factored hybrid HMM provides a link to transducer models in the way it models phonetic (label) context while preserving the strict separation of acoustic and language model of the ...
