Phonetic and Prosody-aware Self-supervised Learning Approach for Non-native Fluency Scoring
Kaiqi Fu, Shaojun Gao, Shuju Shi +3
Speech fluency/disfluency can be evaluated by analyzing a range of phonetic and prosodic features. Deep neural networks are commonly trained to map fluency-related features into th…

Leveraging phone-level linguistic-acoustic similarity for utterance-level pronunciation scoring
Wei Liu, Kaiqi Fu, Xiaohai Tian +4
Recent studies on pronunciation scoring have explored the effect of introducing phone embeddings as reference pronunciation, but mostly in an implicit manner, i.e., addition or con…

An ASR-free Fluency Scoring Approach with Self-Supervised Learning
Wei Liu, Kaiqi Fu, Xiaohai Tian +4
A typical fluency scoring system generally relies on an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system to obtain time stamps in input speech for either the subsequent calculation of flu…
