Domain-Aware Mispronunciation Detection and Diagnosis Using Language-Specific Statistical Graphs

arXiv:2606.05569v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mispronunciation Detection and Diagnosis (MDD) has gained increasing importance in computer-assisted language learning and speech technology in recent years. In this paper, we propose a method for constructing statistical graphs that enable models to learn phoneme confusion patterns represented as directed graphs. Furthermore, we introduce a language-specific strategy to capture systematic pronunciation differences across various native language (L1) backgrounds. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated through extensive experiments on t
The increasing sophistication of AI models and the growing demand for effective language learning tools are driving advancements in speech technology to address diverse linguistic needs.
This development improves the accuracy and effectiveness of automated language learning, making it more accessible and tailored to individuals with different native language backgrounds.
Mispronunciation detection systems will become more adept at identifying and diagnosing specific errors, offering personalized feedback that considers the learner's first language.
