Native Language Identification from Spoken Indian English
Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems that facilitate voice based search and information retrieval have gained importance recently. While the performance of ASR systems for Indian languages have improved in the recent past. They have yet to gain wide acceptability as much as the ASR systems for English spoken by Indians. Almost all Indians learn English as a second or third language. So, the phoneme set and the prosody of native …
