Second language vocabulary knowledge was defined by the subjects' percentiles on the Mill Hill Vocabulary Scale (Raven et al. 1988), which is designed to assess the ability to master, recall and reproduce written and oral verbal information, but it does not assess knowledge of morphology, grammar or accuracy of articulation.
The primary outcome will be speech (articulation) and prosodic (speech melody) accuracy on the specifically designed 292 item probe [ 49] administered during baseline and the three post-treatment assessments.
Likened by Mr. Rouse in a program note to a grand mal seizure and uneasy even in repose, the piece is unsparing in its demands for pinpoint accuracy, sudden dynamic contrasts and clear articulation.
We created operational definitions for the two types of mismapping based on the precision of pitch-matching and predicted that in the two types of mismapping, phonation differs in terms of accuracy and the dependence on the articulation consistency between the target and the intended vocal action.
In the classification task, accuracy for the classification of place of articulation remains low with 50.2% while in manner-based classification, the system delivered an improved performance with 98.9% accuracy.
These results suggest that certain phonemes that are mainly dependent on the pronounced jaw movement and certain tongue movements (creating a constriction with middle of the tongue and the tongue tip) for clear articulation are the worst affected in terms of ASR accuracy.
The Diagnostic Screen subtest of the Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP; Dodd et al., 2002) was used to assess accuracy of articulation.
The primary outcomes are speech sound and prosodic accuracy on a customised 292 item probe and the Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology inconsistency subtest administered prior to treatment and 1 week, 1 month and 4 months post-treatment.
This paper is concerned with the optimal design of motion control for scan tracking measurement using Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) neural networks in order to improve the measuring efficiency while maintaining the measurement accuracy, and to achieve friction compensation.
Segmental accuracy was also examined across all productions to obtain a more comprehensive index of articulation performance.
