摘要
This paper presents a comparative study on automatic continuous tone recognition for Mandarin and Cantonese. Compared with Mandarin, Cantonese has a much more complex tone system. The effects of F-0 normalization on tone recognition of Mandarin and Cantonese will be studied. Furthermore, the two tone systems will be compared from an engineering point of view. Tone recognition accuracies of 71.50% and 83.06% have been obtained for Cantonese and Mandarin respectively. These results compare favorably with results reported for other tone recognition experiments on the same (for Cantonese) and similar databases (for Man-darin).
