Artificial intelligence speech recognition technology is an important direction in the field of human-computer interaction. The use of speech recognition technology to assist teachers in the correction of spoken English pronunciation in teaching has certain effects and can help students without being constrained by places, time and teachers. Based on artificial intelligence speech recognition technology, this paper improves and analyzes speech recognition algorithms, and uses effective algorithms as the system algorithms of artificial intelligence models. Meanwhile, based on phoneme-level speech error correction, after introducing the basic knowledge, construction and training of acoustic models, the basic process of speech cutting, including the front-end processing of speech and the extraction of feature parameters, is elaborated. In addition, this study designed a control experiment to verify and analyze the artificial intelligence speech recognition correction model. The research results show that the method proposed in this paper has a certain effect.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess the predictive capability of the streamline curvature correction model (CCM) and investigate the unsteady vortex behavior of the cloud cavitating flows around a hydrofoil. Design/methodology/approach – The design of the paper is based on introducing the curvature correction method to the original k-ε model. Calculations of unsteady cloud cavitating flows around a Clark-Y hydrofoil are performed using both the CCM and the baseline model. Findings – Compared with the baseline model, better agreements are observed between the predictions of the CCM model and experimental data, especially the cavity shedding process. Based on the computations, it is demonstrated that streamline curvature correction of the CCM model can effectively decrease predicted turbulence kinetic energy and eddy viscosity in cavity shedding region. This leads to the better prediction for the recirculation zone located downstream of the attached cavity, and dynamics of this recirculation zone contribute to the formation and development of the re-entrant jet. Originality/value – The authors apply streamline curvature correction to the calculations of unsteady cloud cavitating flows and discuss the interactions between the cavitation unsteadiness and vortex structures to get an insight of the correction mechanics.

This paper presents an intelligent system for optimization of the cylindrical traverse grinding process whose objective is to maximize the material removal rate with constraints on workpiece out-of-roundness and waviness errors, on surface finish, and on grinding temperature. A theoretical analysis of wheel wear development in the traverse grinding process is presented. Next, the results of an experimental test are discussed to establish the most efficient strategy for grinding allowance removal. In the optimization scheme a feedforward neural network is employed to obtain a model which describes relations between the process input parameters and the grinding results. Then this model is used to optimize adaptively the traverse grinding process. The performance of the proposed optimization system is evaluated by simulation research.

This paper focuses on the scale correction of coastline extracted from remote sensing images. Measurement of coastline is one of the basic and core work of coastal zone remote sensing monitoring projects. Based on analysis of coastline scale effect and multi-scale simulation of coastline, a scale correction method is presented for remote sensing coastline. This method can be used to correct remote sensing coastline to specified map scale, in order to obtain high-precision remote sensing monitoring results of coastline. The results of application example showed that the absolute error of coastline length is reduced to about one third of the original error after correction using the presented method. So the presented method can increase the accuracy of remote sensing coastline for specified scale substantially.

In spite of difficulty in defining the syllable unequivocally, and controversy over its role in theories of spoken and written language processing, the syllable is a potentially useful unit in several practical tasks which arise in computational linguistics and speech technology. For instance, syllable structure might embody valuable information for building word models in automatic speech recognition, and concatenative speech synthesis might use syllables or demisyllables as basic units. In this paper, we first present an algorithm for determining syllable boundaries in the orthographic form of unknown words that works by analogical reasoning from a database or corpus of known syllabifications. We call this syllabification by analogy (SbA). It is similarly motivated to our existing pronunciation by analogy (PbA) which predicts pronunciations for unknown words (specified by their spellings) by inference from a dictionary of known word spellings and corresponding pronunciations. We show that including perfect (according to the corpus) syllable boundary information in the orthographic input can dramatically improve the performance of pronunciation by analogy of English words, but such information would not be available to a practical system. So we next investigate combining automatically-inferred syllabification and pronunciation in two different ways: the series model in which syllabification is followed sequentially by pronunciation generation; and the parallel model in which syllabification and pronunciation are simultaneously inferred. Unfortunately, neither improves performance over PbA without syllabification. Possible reasons for this failure are explored via an analysis of syllabification and pronunciation errors.

This paper investigates the long term drift phenomenon affecting electrochemical sensors used in real environmental conditions to monitor the nitrogen dioxide concentration [NO2]. Electrochemical sensors are low-cost gas sensors able to detect pollutant gas at part per billion level and may be employed to enhance the air quality monitoring networks. However, they suffer from many forms of drift caused by climatic parameter variations, interfering gases and aging. Therefore, they require frequent, expensive and time-consuming calibrations, which constitute the main obstacle to the exploitation of these kinds of sensors. This paper proposes an empirical, linear and unsupervised drift correction model, allowing to extend the time between two successive full calibrations. First, a calibration model is established based on multiple linear regression. The influence of the air temperature and humidity is considered. Then, a correction model is proposed to solve the drift related to age issue. The slope and the intercept of the correction model compensate the change over time of the sensors’ sensitivity and baseline, respectively. The parameters of the correction model are identified using particle swarm optimization (PSO). Data considered in this work are continuously collected onsite close to a highway crossing Metz City (France) during a period of 6 months (July to December 2018) covering almost all the climatic conditions in this region. Experimental results show that the suggested correction model allows maintaining an adequate [NO2] estimation accuracy for at least 3 consecutive months without needing any labeled data for the recalibration.

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, voice-based intelligent systems (VISs), such as AI speakers and virtual assistants, are intervening in human life. VISs are emerging in a new way, called human–AI interaction, which is different from existing human–computer interaction. Using the Kansei engineering approach, we propose a method to evaluate user satisfaction during interaction between a VIS and a user-centered intelligent system. As a user satisfaction evaluation method, a VIS comprising four types of design parameters was developed. A total of 23 subjects were considered for interaction with the VIS, and user satisfaction was measured using Kansei words (KWs). The questionnaire scores collected through KWs were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. ANOVA was used to analyze differences in emotion. On the “pleasurability” and “reliability” axes, it was confirmed that among the four design parameters, “sentence structure of the answer” and “number of trials to get the right answer for a question” affect the emotional satisfaction of users. Four satisfaction groups were derived according to the level of the design parameters. This study can be used as a reference for conducting an integrated emotional satisfaction assessment using emotional metrics such as biosignals and facial expressions.
