【摘要】 发音特征表征了语音的发音方式信息,能够辅助传统的韵律特征改善声调建模的精度。在分析汉语声韵母发音特点的基础上,将发音方式划分为19类,并提出利用阶层式多层感知器计算语音信号属于各类的后验概率,作为发音特征。之后,将发音特征与传统的韵律特征一起用于声调建模。实验结果显示,加入发音特征后,在三种不同的建模方法下声调识别的准确率提升约5%。将声调模型融入大词表连续语音识别系统后,汉字错误率有了明显的下降。更多还原

【Abstract】 Articulatory features,which represent the articulatory information,can help prosodic features to improve the performance of tone recognition.In this paper,a set of 19 pronunciation categories was given according to the pronunciation characteristics of initials and finals.Besides,19 articulatory tandem features,which are the posteriors of speech signal belonging to the 19 pronunciation categories,were obtained by hierarchical multilayer perceptron classifiers.Then these articulatory tandem features,as well as prosodic features,were used for tone modeling.Tone recognition experiments of three kinds of tone models indicate that about 5% absolute increase of accuracy can be achieved when using both articulatory features and prosodic features.When the proposed tone model is integrated into LVSCR(Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition) system,the character error rate is reduced significantly.更多还原
