Rating Algorithm for Pronunciation of English Based on Audio Feature Pattern Matching
Qinhuangdao Institute of Technology, Qinhuangdao, Hebei, China
With the increasing internationalization of China, language communication has become an important channel for us to adapt to the political and economic environment. How to improve English learners’ language learning efficiency in limited conditions has turned into a problem demanding prompt solution at present. This paper applies two pronunciation patterns according to the actual needs of English pronunciation rating: to-be-evaluated pronunciation pattern and standard pronunciation pattern. It will translate the patterns into English pronunciation rating results through European distance. Besides, this paper will introduce the design philosophy of the whole algorithm in combination with CHMM matching pattern. Each link of the CHMM pattern will be given selective analysis while a contrast experiment between the CHMM matching pattern and the other two patterns will be conducted. From the experiment results, it can be concluded that CHMM pattern is the best option.
Key words: audio feature / pattern matching / pronunciation of English / CHMM
