LABELING METHOD, LABELING DEVICE, AND LABELING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18038700 titled 'LABELING METHOD, LABELING DEVICE, AND LABELING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a labeling processing device that generates label information for learning phoneme boundaries in speech information. The device labels time information in a forward direction and then in an opposite direction, detecting the appropriateness of phoneme boundaries based on the differences between the two sets of labeled time information.

  • Labels time information in a forward direction with respect to phoneme boundaries
  • Generates second label information by labeling time information in the opposite direction and inverting the order of the labeled time information
  • Detects appropriateness of phoneme boundaries by comparing time information from the two sets of labels

Potential Applications:

  • Speech recognition technology
  • Language learning tools
  • Phonetics research

Problems Solved:

  • Accurate labeling of phoneme boundaries in speech information
  • Improving learning and understanding of phonetics
  • Enhancing speech processing algorithms

Benefits:

  • More precise phoneme boundary detection
  • Improved speech recognition accuracy
  • Enhanced language learning experiences


Original Abstract Submitted

A labeling processing device () generates first label information by labeling time information in a forward direction with respect to a plurality of phoneme boundaries set in speech information for learning. The labeling processing device () generates second label information by labeling time information in a direction opposite to the forward direction with respect to a plurality of phoneme boundaries set in speech information for learning and inverting the order of the labeled time information. The labeling processing device () detects whether phoneme boundaries are appropriate on the basis of a difference between time information on a plurality of phoneme boundaries included in the first label information and time information on a plurality of phoneme boundaries included in the second label information.
