This paper presents an efficient spoken access approach for both Chinese text and Mandarin speech information retrieval. The proposed approach is developed not only to deal with the retrieval of spoken documents, but also to improve the capability of human-computer interaction via voice input for information retrieval systems. Based on utilization of the mono-syllabic structure of the Chinese language, the proposed approach can tolerate speech recognition errors by performing speech query recognition and approximate information retrieval at the syllable-level. Furthermore, with the help of automatic term suggestion and relevance feedback techniques, the proposed approach is robust in allowing users using voice input to interact with IR systems at each stage of the retrieval process. Extensive experiments show that the proposed approach can improve the effectiveness of information retrieval via speech interaction. The encouraging results suggest that a Mandarin speech interface for information retrieval and digital library systems can, therefore, be developed.

This paper establishes a speaker-independent pronunciation recognition and assessment system under the background of a Mandarin e-learning system framework. The recognition part is based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and improved in the aspect of acoustic and tone model. Making use of the recognition and detection results and corresponding parametric scorings, the machine scoring is performed to evaluate the quality of pronunciation its correlation with expert score are discussed. Through integrating recognition and assessment system with Web 2.0, we ultimately establish an open, shared and growing-up virtual Mandarin learning community, where all of learners, viewers, professors, without any restrictions on time and places, can express their perspective about how to advance Mandarin learning freely. ß
