Controlled English Interface for Knowledge Bases
PublikacjaThis paper describes the approach to interface for OWL Knowledge Bases based on Controlled English that is transformed directly to OWL 2 expressions and back. Two possible modes enable usage of the interface to specify Terminology, World Description as well as Integrity Constrains. Knowledge Base then can be validated against the Integrity Constrains to enable its continuous validation.

MACHINE LEARNING–BASED ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH LATERAL ALLOPHONES
PublikacjaAutomatic classification methods, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), the k-nearest neighbor (kNN) and selforganizing maps (SOMs), are applied to allophone analysis based on recorded speech. A list of 650 words was created for that purpose, containing positionally and/or contextually conditioned allophones. For each word, a group of 16 native and non-native speakers were audio-video recorded, from which seven native speakers’...

Audio Feature Analysis for Precise Vocalic Segments Classification in English
PublikacjaAn approach to identifying the most meaningful Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients representing selected allophones and vocalic segments for their classification is presented in the paper. For this purpose, experiments were carried out using algorithms such as Principal Component Analysis, Feature Importance, and Recursive Parameter Elimination. The data used were recordings made within the ALOFON corpus containing audio signal...

Automatic Marking of Allophone Boundaries in Isolated English spoken Words
PublikacjaThe work presents a method that allows delimiting the borders of allophones in isolated English words. The described method is based on the DTW algorithm combining two signals, a reference signal and an analyzed one. As the reference signal, recordings from the MODALITY database were used, from which the words were extracted. This database was also used for tests, which were described. Test results show that the automatic determination...

Mispronunciation Detection in Non-Native (L2) English with Uncertainty Modeling
PublikacjaA common approach to the automatic detection of mispronunciation in language learning is to recognize the phonemes produced by a student and compare it to the expected pronunciation of a native speaker. This approach makes two simplifying assumptions: a) phonemes can be recognized from speech with high accuracy, b) there is a single correct way for a sentence to be pronounced. These assumptions do not always hold, which can result...

Synthesis and properties of carboxy derivative of Epidian 6 monomethacrylate (in English)
PublikacjaWe present the synthesis of an oligomer with carboxy and methacrylic groups based on Epidian 6. The effect of the catalyst nature and amount, solvent nature and process temperature on the rate of the reaction between Epidian6 monomethacrylate and adipic acid was examined at 313, 323 and 333 K in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 1,4-diazobicyclo[2.2.2]octane, and benzyltriammonium chloride. The synthesized oligomer was characterized...

Evaluation of aspiration problems in L2 English pronunciation employing machine learning
PublikacjaThe approach proposed in this study includes methods specifically dedicated to the detection of allophonic variation in English. This study aims to find an efficient method for automatic evaluation of aspiration in the case of Polish second-language (L2) English speakers’ pronunciation when whole words are analyzed instead of particular allophones extracted from words. Sample words including aspirated and unaspirated allophones...

Determining Pronunciation Differences in English Allophones Utilizing Audio Signal Parameterization
PublikacjaAn allophonic description of English plosive consonants, based on audio-visual recordings of 600 specially selected words, was developed. First, several speakers were recorded while reading words from a teleprompter. Then, every word was played back from the previously recorded sample read by a phonology expert and each examined speaker repeated a particular word trying to imitate correct pronunciation. The next step consisted...

Modeling Object Oriented Systems via Controlled English Verbalization of Description Logic
PublikacjaThe need for formal methods for Object Oriented (OO) systems resulted in methods like UML and Lepus3 that are de-facto graphical languages equipped with formal tools that are able to handle the design of OO systems. However, they lack precise semantics which might lead to problems, such as inconsistencies or redundancies. On the other hand, to our knowledge, there is no approach that allows one to understand and follow the requirements...

Therefore, this article’s primary goal is to describe how criminals’ aliases are created and what are the differences and similarities in that process in English, French, and Polish. Firstly, the theoretical background concerning the topic of pseudonyms is presented. Then, the corpus gathered for this paper (available...

Weakly-Supervised Word-Level Pronunciation Error Detection in Non-Native English Speech
PublikacjaWe propose a weakly-supervised model for word-level mispronunciation detection in non-native (L2) English speech. To train this model, phonetically transcribed L2 speech is not required and we only need to mark mispronounced words. The lack of phonetic transcriptions for L2 speech means that the model has to learn only from a weak signal of word-level mispronunciations. Because of that and due to the limited amount of mispronounced...

Detection of Lexical Stress Errors in Non-Native (L2) English with Data Augmentation and Attention
PublikacjaThis paper describes two novel complementary techniques that improve the detection of lexical stress errors in non-native (L2) English speech: attention-based feature extraction and data augmentation based on Neural Text-To-Speech (TTS). In a classical approach, audio features are usually extracted from fixed regions of speech such as the syllable nucleus. We propose an attention-based deep learning model that automatically de...

Bimodal classification of English allophones employing acoustic speech signal and facial motion capture
PublikacjaA method for automatic transcription of English speech into International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) system is developed and studied. The principal objective of the study is to evaluate to what extent the visual data related to lip reading can enhance recognition accuracy of the transcription of English consonantal and vocalic allophones. To this end, motion capture markers were placed on the faces of seven speakers to obtain lip...

Automated detection of pronunciation errors in non-native English speech employing deep learning
PublikacjaDespite significant advances in recent years, the existing Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) methods detect pronunciation errors with a relatively low accuracy (precision of 60% at 40%-80% recall). This Ph.D. work proposes novel deep learning methods for detecting pronunciation errors in non-native (L2) English speech, outperforming the state-of-the-art method in AUC metric (Area under the Curve) by 41%, i.e., from...
