Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training System (CAPT) has become an important learning aid in second language (L2) learning. Our approach to CAPT is based on the use of phonologi...
This paper presents a system which automatically generates shallow semantic frame structures for conversational speech in unrestricted domains. We argue that such shallow semantic...
This paper looks at a parsing-based alternative to word error rate (WER) for optimizing recognition, SParseval, hypothesizing that it may be a better objective for applications su...
