Using Phonological-Level Wav2Vec2 for Mandarin Automatic Mispronunciation Detection and Diagnosis (opens in new tab)

Automatic mispronunciation detection and diagnosis (MDD) plays a crucial role in L2 Mandarin pronunciation learning. While end-to-end (E2E) based MDD methods have substantially improved phoneme-level detection accuracy, diagnostic feedback remains limited, as segmental and tonal errors are not explicitly separated. In this paper, we propose a phonological feature-based MDD framework that models both segmental and tonal attributes within a unif...
