Spoken language technologies have reached enough maturity to be integrated in many applications in eHealth and eLearning. The challenges and the potential are enormous. There are many other areas in which this claim could be equally made, but these two areas share many technical issues and, of course, they also share a huge significance from a social point of view. This was the driving force for our...
A learner corpus is a very important resource for research on second language acquisition. In this paper, the design and development of a Chinese learner corpus is described. The corpus is based on compositions by learners from 59 countries. The procedure of the development of the corpus is reported, including coping, proofing, etc. Information such as type of writing, student number, time of writing,...
In order to deepen the understanding of the nature of first language acquisition, we carry a longitudinal recording of speech production of twenty-three Mandarin-speaking children from one year old to four years old at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) in Beijing since 2009. The interactive communication between children and parents is recorded in both audio and video mode. Apart from longitudinal...
In recent years, both metaphor interpretation and opinion mining have drawn much attention in the natural language processing (NLP) field. This paper aims to make a connection between these two fields. In this paper, we propose to extend the glossary orientation annotation to the vehicle (the source concept part of the metaphor) by using an automatic annotation method, and based on the vehicle's orientation...
Much of the efficiency of any Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system depends on its speech corpus. This is even more so for recognizers designed for specific tasks. Naturally, an ASR for spelling recognition performs better if it is trained with a spelling speech corpus rather than a generic one. Although several speech corpora are available in Thai, we are still lack of Thai spelling speech corpora...
Language is used for communication and communication facilitates social activities. If we want to capture this, linguistic investigation has to be carried out within a wider context. Examination of linguistic communication in a wider context shows that it is multimodal. In order to study naturalistic multimodal communication using a corpus, the corpus should contain a combination of recordings, documentation,...
