Computer-assisted Pronunciation Training -- Speech synthesis is almost all you need

no code implementations2 Jul 2022 Daniel Korzekwa, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Thomas Drugman, Bozena Kostek

We show that these techniques not only improve the accuracy of three machine learning models for detecting pronunciation errors but also help establish a new state-of-the-art in the field.

Speech Synthesis

Weakly-supervised word-level pronunciation error detection in non-native English speech

no code implementations7 Jun 2021 Daniel Korzekwa, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Thomas Drugman, Shira Calamaro, Bozena Kostek

To train this model, phonetically transcribed L2 speech is not required and we only need to mark mispronounced words.

Mispronunciation Detection in Non-native (L2) English with Uncertainty Modeling

no code implementations16 Jan 2021 Daniel Korzekwa, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Szymon Zaporowski, Shira Calamaro, Thomas Drugman, Bozena Kostek

A common approach to the automatic detection of mispronunciation in language learning is to recognize the phonemes produced by a student and compare it to the expected pronunciation of a native speaker.

Detection of Lexical Stress Errors in Non-Native (L2) English with Data Augmentation and Attention

no code implementations29 Dec 2020 Daniel Korzekwa, Roberto Barra-Chicote, Szymon Zaporowski, Grzegorz Beringer, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Alicja Serafinowicz, Jasha Droppo, Thomas Drugman, Bozena Kostek

This paper describes two novel complementary techniques that improve the detection of lexical stress errors in non-native (L2) English speech: attention-based feature extraction and data augmentation based on Neural Text-To-Speech (TTS).
