我们提出了一种技术，将日语单词的F0与母语人士对音高口音的感知联系起来。到目前为止，测量基频（F0）的计算机辅助韵律学习系统还没有将F0值映射到母语使用者的感知阈值。现有的学习系统经常指导他们的学生在系统指定的范围内适应F0等高线，但该范围的边界与母语人士的接受程度不符。我们的方法基于感知实验估计音高重音模式的可理解性。可理解性分数通过引导学习者走向有意义的目标来激励他们。
We propose a technique that associates the F0 of Japanese words with native-speaker perceptions of pitch accents. Up till now, computer-aided prosody learning systems that measure fundamental frequency (F0) have not mapped F0 values to perceptual thresholds of native speakers. Existing learning systems often instruct their students to fit F0 contours within a band designated by the system, but the band's boundaries do not to correspond to measures of acceptance by native speakers. Our method estimates intelligibility of pitch accent patterns based on perception experiments. Intelligibility scores motivate learners by guiding them towards meaningful goals.
